Hello,
Toshiba Libretto; Every time I suspend to RAM an come back to Console or
later exit Xorg (it's ok within X), the screen is somewhat displaced
downward:
physical screen: video output:
----------------------- - - - - - - - - - -
| | -----------------------
| | |$ |
| | | |
| | | |
----------------------- - - | - - - - - -|
----------------------- snipped
First noticed this with IIRC kernel 2.6.12, quite a while ago, and now
want to do something about it. I don't use (it doesn't occur with)
the (neomagic) framebuffer videodriver. Bootoption is vga=5, but
choosing another doesn't fix it.
I also recognize previous versions of XFree and IIRC pre 6.9 Xorg
thinking about screen geometry being 800x600, while in fact it's
800x480. These 60/120 pixels(?) are about the amount of space (if you
think of centering output to screen vertically) the display is
misplaced. However, it also happens if I don't startup X at all.
I also saw this: If I suspend, there are some lines printed about the
suspend process and if they hit bottom line and start scrolling (after
_a lot_ of suspends) screen layout seems to get fixed. sometimes? hmm.
What can I do about it? Add a few lines printk's into the suspend code?
;-)

Did you read Doc*/power/video.txt?

Oh, wasn't aware of this file. (Havn't looked there for a while now.)
Now I know what went wrong. :-)
Finally the vbetool trick did it.
thx, ritch

Could you
1) try to find out if acpi_sleep=* options can fix it too (they are
better for debugging)
2) submit patch for video.txt
3) if possible, download s2ram from http://www.sf.net/projects/suspend (from
CVS) and add your machine to whitelist?

acpi_sleep=s3_bios|s3_mode|s3_bios,s3_mode didn't do it.

#include <dontbeatme.h> =)
This patch adds an entry for handling video bios resets during s3
suspends on toshiba's 110ct/100ct neomagic chip. Tested on 110ct;
100ct should have the same chipset.
