Date: Thu,  7 Jun 2001 20:38:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010607182851.8309419A2D@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

1) I think that the kernel saves all the processor register set during
its way down to the on/off interrupt handler, that's despite the banked
registers for the different processor modes. Is that true? Or should I
also save/recover registers for other modes (irq, und, ...)?  In
particular I suspect of r13 for the different modes.

Although the kernel seems to come back fine after a suspend, if I
let the system run it panics in syscall or gets frozen.

2) When I reactivate the power of the lcd, the screen seems to get back
but the colors are kind of `degraded' after a suspend in `text mode'.
If I suspend once the system creates a window, the screen background
comes back, but the text is  gone.  Do any of you know of a fine way to
get the display back?


I'll reread the code to see if I can find out the answers, so don't
hesitate to answer if you don't have the time.

thanks anyway
