The installation went smoothly, and everything that worked in 4.11-R appears to work in 5.4-R. Even ACPI suspend/resume (acpiconf -s 3) worked mostly, which I found encouraging, since it hasn't on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 running 5.4-R. The first "resume" problem I've seen before: the USB system fails to come back from the suspend, which happens on my 6100, also. This is "easy" to fix by adding USB_DEBUG to the kernel. The other nit I haven't seen before: on resume (either ACPI or APM), the LCD is left "blank" (i.e., the backlight is on, but the console text is not displayed). In either case, toggling Fn-F5 (LCD/external) brings the LCD display back to its proper state. (APM resume in 4.x has always "just worked"). This shouldn't be a show-stopper, but it is annoying. Has anyone encountered this behavior ? More important, is there a solution that leaves the LCD in its "correct" state upon resume (i.e., without the need for the Fn-F5 intervention) ? Pointers and discussion will be appreciated. -- Gary E. RAFE, Ph.D. Plain-text messages (non-HTML encoded), without proprietary attachments, are preferred.
