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.
