Re: [arch-general] S3-level ACPI suspend

I think I nailed it. With luck, I was able to resume the computer with "s2ram -f -a 1", even it's within Xorg. But it still takes a long time to resume, then I found out about my drives hooked on an old IDE extension card stopped working. So I removed the module "pata_hpt37x", and... Wala, 11 sec

Hi, I've had some nice experiences with Windows(XP)'s suspend functionality, and it seems to work on all machines I've worked with. and the other day I just had a successful resume on my machine with "s2ram -f -m -p", but it takes like a minute for it to fully recover to a terminal (tty/1). (ps:

Hi, I've got another problem with the latest kernel26, and my vga is HD3200 (RS780). It appears that the Xv-acceleration's been disabled in the new kernel, because my xvinfo command says that there's no available Xv adapter in the system. (but I still had it when it was 2.6.31.1). I'm using t

Corrently Archlinux uses a tar+gzip combination and it works nicely. But right now there's a stable lzma compression available using "tar Jcvf", which could create much smaller packages and still fast decompressions. (of course you need to have xz-utils) think about all the bandwidth that could b
