<pre wrap="">Has anybody seen this behavior or know how to try troubleshooting it?
I installed nvidia-glx driver on 7.04 using synaptic and modified my
xorg.conf to use nvidia on my Toshiba Porgege S100. Everything seems to
work okay except with the display goes into sleep mode. I have to use
Control - Alt F2-F5 then control - alt F7 to get it to wake up. When I
connect my external monitor to the laptop the mouse and any key will
wake up that monitor. I've search google without any real results, I've
read the nvidia web page help file and man xorg.conf which is way above
my knowledge of understanding. I've even tried upgrading to
nvidia-glx-new but that seems to work but will not fully place the
display in a black screen sleep mode (back light doesn't turn off but
will turn the display gray), so switch back to the nvidia-glx.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

<pre wrap="">In the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf try adding the line:
Option "NvAGP" "1"
That will force the NVidia driver to use the NVidia NvAGP settings. As
per the readme:
"Sometimes chipsets lose their AGP configuration during suspend, and may
cause corruption on the bus upon resume. The AGP driver is required to
save and restore relevant register state on such systems; NVIDIA's NvAGP
is notified of power management events and ensures its configuration is
kept intact across suspend/resume cycles.<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9639/README/README.txtThisworkedforme.Youwillhavetoberoottoeditthatfilesoeitherdroptoaterminalandenter">"
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9639/README/README.txt
This worked for me. You will have to be root to edit that file so
either drop to a terminal and enter "</a>sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" or
hit ALT+F2 and enter "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf", then enter your
password and edit the file. Once you're done and have saved your change
you'll have to hit CTRL+ALT+Backspace to restart the X Server or reboot
so the settings get picked up. Then test suspend again and report back
here.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I just tried the Option "NvAGP" "1"
without any luck. Still the same problem with the display blanks the
only way to get it back is pressing any key for Ctrl-Alt F2 - F5 and
then Ctrl-alt F7.
