Re: hibernate anyone?

Tried multiple times, even combined with standby,
seems stable.

Comment-out nvidia in /etc/blacklisted-modules to
be able to run hibernate without the --force switch.

The only annoyance I've experienced is that upon
hibernation/standby, the console has wierd background
of 'y'-s on gray background, sometimes.
Also, console scrolling and cursor is kind of gone
when I come back from X to the console (I can write,
but when the output reaches bottom of screen, it doesn't
roll-out; and the cursor stays on top of the screen all
the time).
Also, the console can't change resolution --- It was nice
to have native resolution console.

I didn't experience such things with nvidiafb module loaded;
guess that it's a framebuffer problem; I shall do
a little bit more investigations.

vencik
