Already suggested.

if you were really focused on fixing it, wouldn't you also rely on proprietry drivers too until the free drivers were ready?

Auzy wrote on the 2 Mar 08 at 02:13
Roanoke, I thought that too, but the one suggested is With proprietry drivers even.


Purple wants it without.

what's the difference between this and the idea constantly at number on the front page?

thanks auzy for clearing it up.
now don't we prefer this to "idea #1" where it is?
going the proprietary way is the easy "quick" out, gnu/linux is/should be more patient. and then it will be _OUR_ code.
i wish i had the skills to fix it all. or i would.

The original idea does *NOT* defend the use of proprietary drivers to enable a perfect suspend/resume...

... it defends a perfect suspend/resume using open source kernel code, that works everytime, even if the user is using some proprietary drivers (like nvidia) that have problems sleeping nowadays.

It might be just me, but it seems a lot of people have read that entry wrong.

Duplicate of idea #94.

The original idea is about making the open source kernel suspend for when people are using either OSS or proprietry xorg drivers. It's not about using proprietary drivers to make it suspend, but rather have suspend work even when proprietary drivers are in use.

Here the idea is to not worry about if it breaks when people are using proprietary video drivers???? Or is it to deliberately cripple suspend if a proprietary driver is detected?

-1 duplicate of 94. I want it to be fixed, and I don't care if the drivers are proprietary.

If your suspend/hibernate doesn't work, please file a bug report.
Closing in Brainstorm.
