    rtcwake wakes up to a blank screen with a flashing cursor...

    But that's all

    I'm using "sudo rtcwake -m disk -s 5000" or whatever the seconds is for the time I need it. It doesn't help if I use mem. Anyone know what's up or know a better program?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Read this from the rtcwake man page:
    Code:
    NOTES
       Some PC systems can’t currently exit sleep states such as mem using only  the  kernel  code  accessed  by  this
       driver.  They need help from userspace code to make the framebuffer work again.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
