Package: acpi-support Followup-For: Bug #484934 Hello,
I think it would be a good idea to have a remark (in NEWS.Debian?) along
the lines of the following. Further expansion may be required ;-)
This much worked for me.
Regards,
Kapil.
=================================================================
The "acpi-support" method for suspending is deprecated.
If
(a) you are upgrading from an earlier version of "acpi-support"
and
(b) you do not have any custom scripts in /etc/acpi/*.d/
and
(c) you have custom set some variables in /etc/default/acpi-support
to "true"
Then
you should be able to use the "pm-utils" method for suspending
by using command line parameters for pm-suspend according to the
following table:
variable pm-utils parameter
SAVE_VBE_STATE --quirk-vbestate-restore
POST_VIDEO --quirk-vbe-post
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE --quirk-save-pci
USE_DPMS --quirk-dpms-suspend
RADEON_LIGHT --quirk-radeon-off
You can set these parameters automatically by adding a file in
/etc/pm/config.d/ containing a line like
ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-vbe-post"
In addition, if you had a line in /etc/default/acpi-support like
MODULES="module1 module2"
Then you should add the line
SUSPEND_MODULES="module1 module2"
to a file in /etc/pm/config.d/
