When "suspend" happens, the suspending context needs to signal the X server to restore the console state, before suspending, and then put it back, as a result of a "resume". This is necessary because X writes registers, and doesn't maintain shadow copies in user space, and so can't put the card back into a known state. In many suspend models, the video card is actually powered off and resets to the default state when it resumes, which is not the state the X server expects it to be in. As a workaround, you might be able to set one of the many acpi sysctl options to prevent the video card from being powered down, when everything else is (depends on your "suspend" -- if it's a "suspend to disk", this won't be an option for you). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
