Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses. 
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Video issues with S3 resume
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2003-2006, Pavel Machek
During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most
devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do
it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually
initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to
boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card
driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used).
This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is
run normally so video card is normally initialized. It should not be
problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over
that.
We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it
using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is necessary on particular
system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different
methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of
them.
Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long
whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a
given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at
www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the
whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist
entry so that work does not need to be repeated.
Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most
systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed,
so it makes debugging of early resume problems
hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable.
Details
~~~~~~~
There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume:
(1) systems where video state is preserved over S3.
(2) systems where it is possible to call the video BIOS during S3
resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call the video BIOS at
that point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use
acpi_sleep=s3_bios.
(3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where
the BIOS works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use
acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these.
(4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and
acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed.
(5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need
a new enough X, and a plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb). See
http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html for more information.
Alternatively, you should use vbetool (6) instead.
(6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back
to life. It needs text console to be working. Do vbetool vbestate
save > /tmp/delme; echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep; vbetool post; vbetool
vbestate restore < /tmp/delme; setfont <whatever>, and your video
should work.
(7) on some systems, it is possible to boot most of kernel, and then
POSTing bios works. Ole Rohne has patch to do just that at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2.
(8) on some systems, you can use the video_post utility and or
do echo 3 > /sys/power/state && /usr/sbin/video_post - which will
initialize the display in console mode. If you are in X, you can switch
to a virtual terminal and back to X using CTRL+ALT+F1 - CTRL+ALT+F7 to get
the display working in graphical mode again.
Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your
bios, you'll get a hard crash during resume. Be careful. Also it is
safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. The vesafb
and radeonfb (etc) drivers have a tendency to crash the machine during
resume.
You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you
either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for
your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X
(proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better
chance of working.
