ACPI 3.01, testing suspend/resume

New generation of ACPI sub-system is available. eComStation supports suspend/resume on multi-core notebooks and barebones now. FAQs are published at ACPI tools homepage

How to setup sleep/resume? (APM.doc)

• Use Panorama VESA video driver
• Goto BIOS Setup, Enable "Init video after S3". If no such option then ACPI.PSD should try to perform this operation. Add ACPI.PSD /VBE to init video BIOS after resume. (there are no guarantees that this will work)
• Edit acpid.cfg, suspend should be: suspend=S3
• How to suspend? Open Power object -> Suspend
• How to resume after sleep? Press Power button.

How to achieve success in testing?

• update danis506.add to 1.8.1 (How to update Danis -- Software updates)
• disable all device drivers before testing suspend/resume (USB, audio, network)
• You can see the list of Sleep states supported by your computer when starting ACPI daemon (S1 - computer is stopped; S2 - computer is stopped, part of devices are powered off; S3 - all devices are powered off, except memory; S4 - all devices are powered off; S5 - power off)
• Post the report to the tracker

How to help to other users? Share the results of your tests.

Step 1: Post report about your computer/motherboard to Hardware database

Step 2: If you have installed eCS 2.0 RC1 or higher then Goto ecomstation.com Please include the \var\log\instlog.zip file, this contains all of your configured settings, as well as a small overview of the hardware. This makes it easier for us to identify supported (or unsupported) hardware.

Install ACPIFU WPI (Fast Upgrade) if 3.0 is working fine on your computer.
