I've recently installed Linux on a laptop and I'm having issues with suspension, and it's a feature I really need. And the problem is not the usual that I can see in a lot of forums: It is not that I can suspend but can't awake from suspension. Is just that my system refuses to suspend at all.
Executing pm-suspend on a terminal starts a visible process and the screen goes black for a moment, but then it turns on again and shows me the desktop.
I've tried lots of things,
- Kernels 3.5, 3.4, 3.2 and 2.6.
- Proprietary driver from repositories and from AMD's website.
- Linux Mint 14
- Without installing fgrlx I can suspend, but I have poor graphics —wrong screen resolution, at least.
- With fgrlx the system refuses to suspend.
- No fix installing this → https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fg ... ld/3585042 (which I've found at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p ... 88444.html )
- LMDE
- The same behavior.
- I've also tried this with no luck → http://www.johnjrussell.com/2007/10/ubu ... round.html
