    SubjectRe: [ACPI] Call for help: list of machines with working S3
    From
    Date
    Pavel,
    I think that it is the BIOS' job on S3-suspend
    to save the video mode. On S3-resume the BIOS should
    re-POST and restore the video mode.

    While Linux's X drivers may be able to handle the case
    where X is running -- that doesn't help us with the
    cases where X is not running (a case that Windows
    presumably does not have).

    Besides updated X drivers, which may have complicated
    restore routines for complicated modes, all the other
    techniques for restoring video from Linux are
    hit/miss workarounds for broken platforms.

    To completely solve the Linux S3 video restore issue,
    we need to push the platform and BIOS vendors.

    What am I missing?

    thanks,
    -Len
