recovering from a Suspend

[spqr]

I duly put in the Cacko X11 ROM, and it is really excellent
in almost every way after I realized how to do a 3 button mouse
and see my SD Card.  However it is now in a strange
state. I did a suspend, and when I come back the keyboard
and pointer do nothing. The system is alive, it is playing
music to with XMMS, but I cannot get it to respond in any other way.
A hard reboot with the battery out seems drastic; is there a softer
way? (the equivalent of Ctl-Alt-F1 on my desktop)

By the way, running gimp, xmms and abiword  at the same
time was amazing. What I want now is the SDK so I can
compile a few more things (I want an XML parser, Gnu Emacs, TeX
and a Subversion client...)

Experienced the same thing with suspend/input not working (rom 240204). Otherwise, the rom is awesome!
Any workaround for the suspend thing yet?

my observation is that if I get back in by pressing the Home button,
it is OK. this may be a coincidence....

Would you share teh knowloedge with us? I did not find the answer yet!
I also got the suspend problem - I\'ve posted it on another thread before reading yours.

If you
 ipkg install xmonobut
then you see a tiny mouse in the bar at the bottom. each time you click on it,
it cycles between mapping the pointer click to left, middle and right mouse. so
2 clicks on the xmonobut thing, then tap the pointer on a window and hey presto
it was a right click. click again on xmonobut to restiore left click behaviour

for the suspend, try restoring by pressing the Home button not the silver one
at the back. works for me so far

Thanks for the xmonobut stuff, I\'ll take a look.
What about the SD card - I can\'t see mine!

I ALWAYS use the silver hoem button, so that\'s not it.
It seems that if I suspend from the command line with apm -s, everything recovers OK. I also each time read \"cardmgr[105]: socket 0: ATA/IDE fixed disk\". Could it be that from X you suspend another way, and cardmgr is not (or not always) restarted correctly?

you need the sd-module package

no, I meant the Home button on the keyboard

I have had the same suspend problem. Also, I always restore with the Home key, so that is not the problem.

I\'ve recovered form the locking state conecting from my linux box to Z via ssh, then I\'ve simply killed X.

I have the same problem.  Suspend via menu and the home key will resume, but nothing will work, mouse cursor will move around, but keyboard is dead.

The on/off button then resume via home key combination that worked under the previous rom doesn\'t work for this rom.

Is this problem being looked into by anyone?  I love the rom, it looks/feels great but this makes it unusable.

Thanks, hoping there is a solution, (especially since I love firefox :-)

I figured that out, and installed it, but I still see no card. What kind of magic am I suposed to do?

I mean this one too. It seems that I get less hangs after installing the sd-module. However, I noticed that on \"wake up\" X does not actualise the clock. If I kill X and restart the time is OK. By the way, is there another way to kill X other than firing top and then killing the process? I can\'t find a way to ctrl-alt-backspace on the Z.

After I installed sd-module, the card was visible on  /mnt/card as expected.

The whole clock thing does to be totally broken, doesn\'t it?

on the other hand, Menu/Suspend and then and keyboard Home
has worked consistently for me a few days now, so I am confused.

isnt there anything in /etc/init.rd to kick the X?
