ACPI not fully working with Asus P5B motherboard

[heimolepikko]

With UNI kernel, suspend/resume with sleepmode S1 seems to work. However, mode s3 does not. With SMP kernel, both modes do not work correctly.

I have remarks and logs included in attachments.

For S3 you need check BIOS setup. It can has "S1" or "S1&S3" or "S3str". If you have working S1 (at Uni) - you have chance for working S3. Try add /VBE and test S3

In BIOS I saw the string 'S3str', so that must be it.

I tried suspend/resume using /VBE with UNI kernel (/APIC /VBE), but no luck. After suspend, the power led was not flashing and the mouse led remained on. However, the display was correctly suspended. Short press of the power button resulted in a reboot. So resume did not work.

Try enter to suspend and wakeup from Full Screen session. 1st way - change in acpid.cfg PowerButton = suspend, run FS and press Power Button. 2nd way, get from hobbes.nmsu.edu apm2v14.zip and run apm.exe /Suspend from FS. Meaning you have installed debug version of acpi.psd.

If you see string at screen after wakeup - next we can to find problem. If no - 1st and don't resolved problem - video card.

Also, you can try find in BIOS setup option like next "Init Video after S3", this very help for wakeup video.

Tried entering suspend/resume from Full Screen Session having the PowerButton=suspend setting enabled in acpid.cfg. And the Sleepmode was S3.

I used the debug version of acpi.psd (3.11). In BIOS, I enabled 'Repost video on S3 resume'.

1. test: The PC did not respond much to any buttons after suspend. Had to reset.
2. test: After suspend the PC rebooted when I pressed pwr button shortly.

Also the suspends were not exactly correct.

Video card: This is Nvidia Geforce 7300 GT. ECS (or Panorama) sees it as NVidia G73 - p501h7b. The display is Fujitsu Siemens flat panel S17-1 (Scitech Display Doctor in ECS). In normal use they work OK.

For SMP suspend don't possible with IBM kernel. What is Uni? Need log from latest acpi and talks about problem. Also, SNAP can don't support suspend - use panorama
