dell inspiron 9400 - resume from suspend

[Jason Dwyer]

hi all,

i have an inspiron 9400 with nvidia 7900gs video card.

just did a clean install of f9, plus all updates ( including hal stuff
today, which i hoped might fix things...), and still cant resume from
suspend.

pretty sure its video driver related ( alas, no viable nvidia binary
blobs available for the 1.5 xserver yet), as i recall similar issues in
fedora 7, and cant for the life of me remember if i fixed it or if
updates fixed it!

suspend kicks in just right, but resume brings up the relevant lights
for power, disk, bluetooth and wifi ( usb optical mouse lights up too),
but the display remains completely unlit.

i'm using the nv driver, tried the nouveau one for a couple of days, and
same net result ( although no mouse, wifi or bluetooth indicators come
up with nouveau.

anyone got any clues?

do i need to tweak the suspend/resume script ? any pointers where i
might find what needs a tickle?

thanks in advance
