Hi,
I think this mail is off-thread, but I lost track on the way. Sorry for that.
Anyway: Within this thread a solution based on software-suspend2 was mentioned. I tried it and I'm quite surprised: it works!
I'm using 2.6.12 with dvb-kernel CVS + the patchset from suspend2.net + hibernate from debian. Some usb-driver-quirks were necessary and now my system is up and running within 20 seconds, which is quite enough for me (as fast as the old dbox1, afair).
I'm using vdr with softdevice via a Matrox G550 and 2 budget devices.
Thanks for mentioning suspend2, thanks for the good work on VDR and especially the soft-device-plugin.
What are the usb-driver-quirks that you mention? Are they usb DVB devices that you have?
I've just been having another go at getting software suspend to work on an Epia-based vdr system with vdr-xine. I can get it to suspend and resume fairly easily with a 2.6.12 kernel and the latest patch set form www.suspend2.net but I can't get the DVB drivers to play nicely!
A suspend and restart brings it back up as it should and vdr starts but all I see is a black screen. I can change channel but I still get a black screen. I have yet to see if the DVB card (an old l64781 based Nova-T) is outputting a stream or not, and LIRC won't allow any connections after resuming (homebrew receiver). I have yet to try playing back a recording because it's a bit awkward without a remote!
Has anyone had any luck with software suspend and this type of card or LIRC? Do I need to explicitly kill vdr and unload the drivers before suspending, and then reload and restart on startup?
Cheers,
