    • Sabayon: suspend and dvd

    Today i tried to add a new user but users-admin did something wrong and after a reboot nothing worked and i had to reinstall.

    After reinstall, Scroll, Tap and DoubleTab worked by default :o no idea why first time didn’t work out of the box. Anyway, i found the solution for Suspend. The problem is because of compiz so, before suspend the window manager should be changed to metacity. The second problem, after resume keyboard and touchpad don’t work (you need a usb keyboard/mouse to restart X). Sabayon is using pm-utils so, 3 files are needed.

    1. To fix the keyboard/touchpad after resume download /etc/pm/sleep.d/25i8042 and make the file executable:

    chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/25i8042

    No reboot is needed.

    2. For Suspend two files are needed. Download /etc/pm/config.d/50compiz-fglrx-noclear and /etc/pm/sleep.d/00compiz-fglrx. Make both files executable:

    chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/50compiz-fglrx-noclear
chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/00compiz-fglrx

    No need to reboot, now, suspend should work.

    I had problems with playing DVDs too. Kaffeine complained about win32 codecs and /dev/dvd. This time was easy:

    sudo equo install libdvdcss
sudo equo install win32codecs
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/win32 /usr/lib/win32

    But with Kaffeine i have no sound so, i gave up. I use MPlayer… like many many more others :)

    Something else i did’t like was the beep almost everytime i pressed TAB. To fix it, just blacklist: pcspkr module.

    1. Thanks man, this blog helped me with the two main problems I’ve had in sabayon with my tx2500, keyboard/mouse on resume and scrolling on the touchpad! Now I just need lirc to see the remote and figure out the fingerprint reader

    3. I don’t have finger print reader on my laptop so i can’t help here. I didn;t have time to play with remote but the screen rotation should work with latest ATI drivers but with compiz disabled.

      Maybe next weekend i’ll solve the screen rotation.
