Re: [Xen-devel] Host S3

It looks like suspend.sf.net will not work.  The s2ram utility
requires /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_sleep_flags which does not exist in the
Xen patched Linux kernel.  It is removed via CONFIG_ACPI_PV_SLEEP.

So how are people using dom0 suspend/resume?  Any sample scripts/code?
Simply doing 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' does not restore the graphics
card.  I also tried a script I found on the web that effectively does:

# dump current data from the video card to the temporary file
cat /proc/bus/pci/$ID > $TMP_FILE

# suspend
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

# restore video card data from the temporary file on resume
cat $TMP_FILE > /proc/bus/pci/$ID

with the same result that bare Linux works but booting with Xen does not
restore the video card.
