Hi all,
This has taken me a while to decide it was a bug and not a freak
accident. About one to two times a week I have noticed that my powerbook
will hand during the sleep process. Usually, when the sleep operation
completes, there is a quick screen power blank. Then about another 1.5
seconds of the LCD being illuminated, with what looks like some random
part of video memory being displayed, then finally the machine goes
to sleep. Occasionally I am seeing a freeze during the step where the
machine stays on for 1.5 seconds and has not quite been put to sleep. I
have been unable to diagnose this, as it happens so infrequently, but I
figured by posting I could hopefully get some more people experiencing
this as well. my specs:
1ghz tipb, 1gig ram, radeon 9M, 2.4.20-ben8
I also do not seem to be doing any tasks at this time, just idling my
window manager.

Pretty much the same configuration here, but I haven't seen this, even
though I've been enjoying uptimes of weeks, usually with at least one
sleep cycle a day.
What's your DRI related setup?

hmmm well i don't seem to have _any_ sort of DRI setup. Although
you noting for me to look at my XF86Config, i noticed i had left
AGPFastWrite enabled for a test i was running for benh a while ago.
I will set that off and see if that helps at all. I have attached my
XF86Config

Also make sure you have APM emulation working (check XFree log to see if it found & opened the APM device)

from my XF86Config file...
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
But my kernel config says...
CONFIG_PMAC_APM_EMU=y
The only thing unusual is I am running devfs..
so i checked /dev
heliosphan dev # find . -name *apm*
./misc/apm_bios
./apm_bios
/dev/misc/apm_bios has perms:
crw------- 1 mutex root 10, 134 Dec 31 1969 apm_bios
are those normal permissions ? Also, I'm running an enlightenment
battery applet which afaik uses apm layer to report battery level. So
something has to be working.

I don't know wtf with devfs & perms, but the problem is here, once you
fix that, it should work much better ;)
Ben.

I don't know, I don't use devfs, I have:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 134 2003-04-29 13:04
/dev/apm_bios
Anyway, the X server doesn't try to use /dev/misc/apm_bios but
/dev/apm_bios and gets ENOENT.
