Suspend problem on Gateway desktop

#1 Post by sansonet »

I installed Puppy (Macpup 528, kernel 2.6.33.2) on Gateway desktop and can't get it to suspend properly. I have ACPI installed, but when I trying to suspend it looks like it tries - screen goes black and entering standby mode, drive clicks, but power light stays on, and fans are running. If I press power button - nothing happens. No keyboard or mouse clicks can bring it back to life too. Every time I have to shut down and restart computer. I tried newer macpup versions and always getting the same result. I have the same Macpup on Dell dimension 3000 and on Acer Aspire T180 - suspend works fine on both. Acer have almost the same motherboard as Gateway - I don't understand why it works on one and not on another.
