Hello,
I am just about fed up with my current laptop.
Well, it was bought while I was still using some penguins, so I did not check for compatibility with FreeBSD. Performance is good, the components are reasonably changeable without resorting to taking brute force to the casing. But what gets me is that it will not suspend. It is an Asus F8P running amd64 8.2-STABLE. I tried GENERIC, no use. The kernel currently in use is build with as many parts as modules as I see possible, so there are no USB, ethernet or other components loaded. I will add the list of modules to this post. But even then the ***** thing will not even resume when booted to single user and sent to sleep right away. In multi user mode it does also not resume. Doing a suspend_bounce reveals nothing.
And did I mention that there is no new BIOS for this and that the ACPI code exhibits a great potential for improvement, so to speak?
So I currently have these options:
- live with it (frustrating)
- ask someone here if the F8P needs some sort of wand-weaving (this thread)
- work up my temper to a point where I set up a bounty for working suspend-to-disc (that point is approaching pretty fast)
I would think that a working suspend-to-disc would benefit the most users. And knowing the state of the BIOS I would not be too disappointed when nobody has this machine behaving as wanted.
