Suspend and resume generally works on my X220 now, from X or | console. There are some outstanding issues, for example the X display | sometimes ends up corrupted after resume; stopping and restarting X | fixes that. Adding vidcontrol -s 1 < /dev/ttyv0 to /etc/rc.suspend and vidcontrol -s 9 < /dev/ttyv0 to /etc/rc.resume fixed that for me. Doug A.Received on Mon Nov 04 2013 - 21:58:48 UTC
