My laptop suspends/resumes using fglrx. Good. But on resume it is often incredibly unresponsive. The 'system monitor' applet shows CPU 100% busy, nearly all in 'IO wait' mpstat claims iowait is 7%, idle 59%. I don't know what I am doing, but I google-guess: ps -eo pid,tid,class,rtprio,ni,pri,psr,pcpu,stat,wchan:14,comm | grep D PID TID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI PSR %CPU STAT WCHAN COMMAND 238 238 TS - 0 19 0 0.0 D congestion_wai pdflush 239 239 TS - -5 24 0 0.0 D< get_request_wa kswapd0 497 497 TS - -5 24 0 0.0 D< get_request_wa kjournald 760 760 TS - 0 19 0 0.0 D+ sync_buffer bash 761 761 TS - 0 19 0 0.0 D sync_page sh 2641 2641 TS - 0 19 0 5.0 Ds+ sync_page X 3286 3286 TS - 7 12 0 0.1 DNl sync_page beagled 3376 3376 TS - 0 19 0 0.0 Dl sync_page pam-panel-icon 4450 4450 TS - 0 19 0 6.5 Dl sync_page firefox-bin Anyone know how I should proceed?
