Suspend/Resume issues - Custom scripts not running? Mouse frozen?
 

Hi. I recently installed Debian Lenny onto my Dell Studio XPS 16
laptop. I'm having issues getting resume to work properly. I can
suspend, but when I resume and compiz was running, my screen shows up
with only my cursor and some corrupted textures. I attempted to solve
this by writing a script /etc/acpi/suspend.d/00-compiz.sh that executes
the following:


Code:
#!/bin/sh
killall compiz
killall compiz.real

xfwm4
and /etc/acpi/resume.d/99-compiz.sh


Code:
#!/bin/sh
killall xfwm4
compiz --replace

These scripts don't appear to be working, however. Manually
killing compiz before suspending will show my screen as normal upon
resume, but simply running pm-suspend, gnome-power-cmd, or
/usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate won't.



In both cases, my touchpad becomes completely unusable on resume. I tried to solve this by using another script:


Code:
#!/bin/sh
modprobe -r psmouse
echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind

echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/bind
modprobe psmouse
It doesn't work and I'm not sure what else to try. I'm not even sure if the scripts are running (how can I check?).



Can anyone help? This issue is really the only one keeping me from using Linux permanently on my laptop.

You can check whether a script has run by adding a line similar to the
following into each script:

echo "This script has run" >/tmp/script.log

If it runs, the file /tmp/script.log will show the evidence.

pm-utils is the "default" power management suite when you are using HAL (via
gnome-power-manager or kpowersave). You should write a script for pm-utils, not
acpid.

You should use /etc/pm/sleep.d for these purposes. For example, create a
new file in /etc/pm/sleep.d/10key_issue with this content:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
hibernate|suspend)
echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind
;;
thaw|resume)
echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/bind
;;
*) exit $NA
;;
esac

Of course, you can replace the content with your needs.
Don't forget to chmod +x once saved.
