Hi Everyone,
I'm running FC on a Dell Inspiron 8200, Pentium 4-M 1.7 Ghz. I had been
running FC1 and APM was working perfectly. In October I installed FC4,
and now I can't get into standby. At startup I'm using the kernel
parameters: acpi=off apm=on resume=force.
Here's what happens:
1. From the command line:
- Executing 'apm -S' as a normal user returns 'permission denied'. (OK,
I can probably change permissions somewhere, but haven't looked into
this yet because...)
- Executing 'apm -S' as root returns me to a new prompt. After a few
seconds a message comes up saying 'parameter out of range' and the
machine does not go into standby.
2. Suspend button (runlevel 3):
- If I push the suspend button (Fn+Esc) while in runlevel 3 (no X), the
machine does go into standby- once. When I resume the clock is set back
8 hours, but everything else seems OK. However, pushing suspend again
has no effect.
3. Suspend button (runlevel5):
- If I push the suspend button while in X the machine suspends, but I
only get a black screen on resume. I have to power of and restart.
Can anyone suggest what might be happening or where I should start
looking? Has anyone seen similar behavioiur- and fixed it! I did look
through the message logs, but these didn't provide any indication of
what was going on.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Simon
