Suspend stops working if ATI restricted driver is enabled

I can confirm this, on a Acer Ferrari 4005Wlmi, using xserver-xgl and the ATI restricted driver.

After upgrading to Gutsy, suspend/resume (ram & disk) does NOT work anymore on my Acer Ferrari 4005.

Currently, I can't see a relation to the ATI restricted drivers, because I tested without the drivers in init=/bin/sh state and have very similar behavior:

I'm initiating suspend with "s2both". The machine displays suspend information and finally shuts down (power led blinking orange).
Pressing any key after that DOES awake the system, but screen remains blank. However, as HDD LED indicates the OS has been revived and a CTRL-ALT-DEL does shutdown/reboot eventually.

Conclusion: I suspect not the ATI drivers being source of the problem but a general (kernel) problem!?
As already mentioned, this worked perfectly with Feisty, so something must have changed with the Update which broke suspend/resume on this platform.

This is with linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic.

Any clues welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI as separate attachments.

Ok So I too am having this problem and I am attaching the files asked for from the debuggingacpi from the wiki. I checked out the kernel log and theres nothing from today. Also dont know if its any good but after clicking suspend screen turned off like normal and so did the "disk usage" LED, but neither the Power button LED or the Bluetooth LED turned off and the what I call "system status" LED did not turn orange to indicate asleep.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in linux-source-2.6.22.

I am assigning this bug to the 'ubuntu-kernel-acpi' per their bug policy. For future reference you can learn more about their bug policy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies .

Thanks, Nanley. Rgds, RS.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

This bug report is being closed because we received no response to the previous request for information. Please reopen this if it is still an issue in the actively developed pre-release of Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty . To reopen the bug report simply change the Status of the "linux" task back to "New".
