Suspend on Dell D820 openSUSE 11.1 (Beta 2) Nvidia Driver
So today I decided I was going to get my s2ram (Suspend 2 Ram) working on my openSUSE box. Here are my stats:
Computer Model:
Dell D820
Nvidia Driver:
Kernel Module 177.80
Nvidia Card:
Quadro NVS 110M
Distribution:
openSUSE 11.1 (Beta 2)
s2ram version:
s2ram (suspend) 0.8.20080910
Misc:
KDE 3.5.10
Compiz 0.7.8
Ok .. with that said.. I had to do the following:
Step 1:
add the following:
blacklist intel_agp
to /etc/modproble.conf.local
Step 2:
rebooted
Step 3:
Verified intel_agp wasn’t running by running:
lsmod | grep agp
Step 4:
Created a file (you can name whatever you want, I named s2ram.config) in /etc/pm/config.d/ which had an option that i needed (i knew I needed after testing with command line s2ram) to make resume work correctly:
S2RAM_OPTS=”-f”
After this I tested s2ram by going to shutdown my computer and clicking on the s2ram option. Verified that the option took, and that I was able to resume (yay).
This shouldn’t take much to really get you going, but if feels great having s2ram working. Once you map it to your power button then you are really good to go.
Hope this helps at least one person out there.

With Beta3, you should not have to do the “S2RAM_OPTS=…”, because if the nvidida driver is loaded, we will automatically skip all quirks. I’m not sure what to do about intel_agp, it is harder to auto-blacklist it.

Hey Stefan,
Glad you found me haha.
I’ll give B3 a shot without S2RAM_OPTS once it’s released (hoping monday). What version of suspend has smart-suspend? 8.2 in your home build service?
Ben
Just to confirm now with Beta 3 (openSUSE 11.1) I am able to s2ram without having the S2RAM_OPS in /etc/pm/config.d/file
Great job Stefan and “crew” .. One step closer to better suspending.
I’ll give loading the intel_agp and suspending, but I have no faith in that (as that’s the main problem).
I’ll let you guys know.
Thanks a ton.
