Richard,

Just found the post below and manually applied your patch to my 20video
after getting radeontool and vbetool source and building the tools.  Now
pm-suspend works like a charm--as long as I don't dock the D600 during
suspend (I use the dock only for recharging).

Had to install
libpciaccess.i386 0.8-0.1.20070530git.fc7
libpciaccess-devel.i386 0.8-0.1.20070530git.fc7
pciutils-devel.i386 2.2.4-3.fc7
to get everything vbetool wanted, and also hacked the Makefile to add
"-lz" to the empty "LDFLAGS =" assignment.  They apparently expect static
libpci.a, and it's dynamic in the Fedora 7 pci-utils package.  Also needed
exec_dir=/usr to get it to find pci.h.

Sorry for the long message, but it's a disjointed thread, and I wanted to
try to include enough for someone to make sense of what had to be done to
get pm-suspend working on a Latitude D600 in Fedora 7.

Still a mystery why radeontool and vbetool aren't in the Fedora 7 pm-utils
package.  I hope the packaging gets straightened out.  I'm an RHCT with a
BS in IS and 25 years as an SE/admin, and I barely had the skills and
patience to work it out, pretty much on my own.  Joe Starbucks is unlikely
to start using Linux if he can't close his laptop and have it wake back
up.

regards,
j.

I've just fixed a bug where the call to radeon tool was missing. The
patch is attached, although I committed this yesterday.

Peter, could we roll a new release please?

Thanks.

Richard.
