Yes, I agree to an extent, but my configuration is very typical. I also had the same problem with an AMD XP2500+, which is why I upgraded to the AMD 3800+ 64-bit system, and have the same problem. It has a Matrox G400 card on it, which should also be well-supported by now. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc.

If you're so inclined, I appreciate it if you would look at the output, although I don't think there is much there to consider: # pm-utils-bugreport-info.sh output http://pastebin.com/fkq0qMTj > To help you diagnose the problem you would be better off looking at your logs: > /var/log/pm-suspend.log > /var/log/messages Does this help at all?

Is that the correct location for the file? Perhaps I need to select or enable the display in the file? Shouldn't there be a driver for "matrox" or "mga" in the list of drivers that it supports? I don't see that in the list. > run as root: > # init 3 > # pm-suspend How should power management be configured in the BIOS? S1? S3? How do the settings in the BIOS correlate to how power management is configured in software?
