power manager, laptop lid locking bugs

[anon222]

Hello!

Well, the 'quirk-radeon-off' worked for me - no 'nomodeset' needed. I tried using nomodeset, and it threw me back to the default video driver and 1024x768 resolution, so I turned it back off again.

Glad it worked for you and thank you for letting me know `nomodeset` isn't needed.
Quirk sounds nicer than a `hack`

thanks misko that was great information

I tried many quirks and the system returned healthy from many suspends.
I added my-quirk
Did not use nomodeset.

Still buggy when lid is closed.
What else could over riding the power management ?
Checked /var/log/pm-powersave.log
dmesg etc..
nothing is showing a fail.

If I close the lid, the system comes back buggy whether lock lid or suspend is used.
I'll dig so more

No problem Galen. I learned something along the way.

Nothing I can think of. Have you tried different kernel?
Check the BIOS settings, maybe changing something in there would help.
Or maybe just updating microcode would help (not sure).
