display issue after Suspend

[arp]

Hello, I did a fresh install of MX. After coming back from "suspend" mode, the display is reddish throughout and is lower resolution like an old computer. This does not go away and I have to re-start. I thought this was a swap size issue so I increased swap to 2x RAM (RAM is 6GB). Any ideas? Thank you!

I saw on the forum a reference to an "intel tweak" but can't find the tweak itself. I welcome a pointer or other suggestions on this display issue. Thanks!

It won't be there also won't work. Cause your card is AMD :

Graphics: Device-1: AMD ... driver: radeon
...
Display: ... driver: loaded: ati,radeon

I welcome a pointer or other suggestions on this display issue.

Maybe clarify as to whether the display issue is hibernation or suspend.

[Charlie Brown]

Code: Select all

sudo make-xorg-conf radeon -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf

Reboot, try suspend then wake up.

[arp]

I tried the make-xorg-conf command (and reboot) but the video issue remained after suspend...

[MXRobo]

A search of iMac7,1 v: 1.0 linux waking from suspend brings up a lot of older hits regarding this.
I don't know linux, I'm a newb, but if others of more knowledge don't eventually solve the issue, maybe try light-locker, or antix.

Or disable suspend, maybe hibernate will work!

It could be lack of kernel support for the Radeon graphics device. MX 21 used to work. Any uses with retrograding to that version?

[Charlie Brown]

... maybe try light-locker ...

It's already light-locker ootb.

You can install 4.19 and 6.1 kernels from "MX Package Installer" , boot with and try. (4.19 and 5.10 will be in Advanced Options on Grub menu after installation.)
