wakeup

My situation:

Ubuntu 10.10 running on an atom driven main board
the main board has a GPIO chip integrated (F75111 by Fintek).

They communicate through I2C(SMBus). We have a driver running that works, we can send outputs and read inputs. Great!

We would like to use the I/O interface to suspend (sleep) and wake up again.

Sleep is no problem. On an incoming input: run s2both. Ubuntu goes to sleep and prepares a hibernate state, so when the power-cord is unplugged by accident, it will wake from hibernate.

But the big question: how to wake on an input if the OS is already sleeping! You can wake from a lot of devices (lan, usb, ring, etc) but I can't find out how to wake from a I2C card.

PLEASE HELP!

Why does my laptop resume immediately after suspend?

I seem to be having some problem with suspend mode. Every time I try to suspend my laptop, it just locks the screen. Or maybe it successfully suspends just to resume only an instant after. What could cause such a behaviour? I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with the 3.2.0-25 kernel on a HP dv5-1178er… >>> More
