[02:43] <hyperair> does anyone know how to get suspend/resume working on a radeon hd 4500?
[02:46] <RAOF> It doesn't already?
[02:50] <hyperair> RAOF: weird, it works on and off.
[02:50] <hyperair> RAOF: when i suspended from the menu, it worked, when i closed the lid, it didn't resume.
[02:59] <RAOF> Yay lidswitch!
[03:01] <hyperair> lol
[03:03] <RAOF> From the top of my head I'd guess it's a race between “Oh!  The user has shut the lid; let's disable LVDS” on the driver side and “Oh!  The user has shut the lid; let's suspend” on the g-p-m side.
[03:04] <hyperair> oh that sucks =\
[03:04] <RAOF> Combined with resume happening after the lid is opened.
[03:04] <RAOF> Well, that would be sucky driver's fault, realy.
[03:04] <RAOF> File A Bug™ :)
[03:04]  * ajmitch hates sucky drivers for such things
[03:05] <hyperair> heh
[03:05]  * hyperair doesn't own the hardware
[03:17] <RAOF> What laptop is it?
[03:26] <hyperair> dell studio 15
[13:42] <bjsnider> tseliot, i think we had a miscommunication the other day about nvidia-current
[13:42] <tseliot> bjsnider: ?
[13:43] <bjsnider> the package creates two modprobe.conf files
[13:43] <bjsnider> /lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf and /usr/lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf
[13:44] <bjsnider> i was talking about the contents of the former. the latter contains the alias line
[13:44] <tseliot> I'll check that
[13:45] <tseliot> the former should be enough though
[13:45] <bjsnider> i think this was done because of the separate partition for /lib. remember that?
[13:45] <tseliot> yep
[13:45] <bjsnider> my system complains unless i have the alias line in the /lib file
[13:45] <tseliot> actually a separate /usr partition
[13:45] <bjsnider> ok
[13:47] <bjsnider> the /lib file does not contain the alias line. there is no code in the rules file to add it. so my system is not totally crazy
[13:47] <bjsnider> i sorted through the variables in the rules file and the command works out to:
[13:47] <bjsnider> echo "alias nvidia nvidia-current" >> $(CURDIR)/debian/nvidia-current/usr/lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf
[17:48] <tseliot> bjsnider: the file in /lib is fine too
[17:49] <tseliot> but yes, we should have only one
