Hi, I am using pm-utils to suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk. In both the suspends my LCD monitor goes black but doesn't go to the "power save mode" i.e the light doesn't turn orange. This happens only in archlinux though. On Windows when i standby (suspend) the monitor properly goes to "power save mode". Also in both the OS I can't wake up from suspend-to-ram by pressing any key on the key board or moving the mouse. I have to press the power on button on the CPU cabinet. I guess theres a BIOS setting to enable that but i can't seem to find it. Please tell me how to solve both the problems. My motherboard model is Biostar TA785G3 HD and BIOS is AMI BIOS. Thanks.

Is anyone going to help??? :(

I don't have the answer, but I can confirm that I have seen this behavior several times over the past 3-4 kernels. The current kernel is OK with the nvidia, radeon and intel gpus on my boxes. But a couple of kernels ago I was having to turn off the LCD displays because they would go blank but not black (unpowered). Good Luck. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
