[PATCH] swsusp: documentation updates
Update suspend-to-RAM documentation with new machines, and makes message
when processes can't be stopped little clearer. (In one case, waiting
longer actually did help).
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>
Warn in the documentation that data may be lost if there are some
filesystems mounted from USB devices before suspend.
[Thanks to Alan Stern for providing the answer to the question in the
Q:-A: part.]

Video issues with S3 resume

During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most
devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do

problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over
that.
+We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it
+using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is neccessary on particular
+system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different
+methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of
+them.
+
+Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long
+whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a
+given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at
+www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the
+whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist
+entry so that work does not need to be repeated.
+
+Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most
+systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed,
+so it makes debugging of early resume problems
+hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable.

There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume:
(1) systems where video state is preserved over S3.

-First, boot into X and run the following script ONCE:
-#!/bin/bash
-statedir=/root/s3/state
-mkdir -p $statedir
-chvt 2
-sleep 1
-vbetool vbestate save >$statedir/vbe

-To suspend and resume properly, call the following script as root:
-#!/bin/bash
-statedir=/root/s3/state
-curcons=`fgconsole`
-fuser /dev/tty$curcons 2>/dev/null|xargs ps -o comm= -p|grep -q X && chvt 2

-Unless you change your graphics card or other hardware configuration,
-the state once saved will be OK for every resume afterwards.

-set the fonts on screen.
