Hibernate Problem

[G.R]

Hi,

I am trying to enable hibernation in my image, but without success. I
have a generic VC++ application, which has three buttons to shutdown,
stand by and hibernate. When I try run the app in my normal xp, it is
working. But when I run the same app in my xpe only shutdown works.
Hibernate and standby does not respond. I have included the ACPI PC
component in my image and enable hibernation with home/desk off
configuration. Also I have added the disk drivers component. I am
running this on the minlogon configuration

Kindly advice on how to fix the same.

Thanks,
AGR

Dear G.R,

Are you able to execute "Hibernate" and "Standby" in Start Menu
directly?

Please check this first.

Hi Chen,

Currently I am having a minlogon. When I tried to have a explorer
shell, in the shutdown option, the standby button is disabled. Don't
know why. I am still trying to resolve that. Any kind of inputs would
be of great help.

Thanks,
AGR

1. You have to enable Hibernation in the platforms Computer component -
ACPI, etc.
2. There needs to be enough space on the disk to hold the amount of RAM in
the system. 1GB RAM needs 1GB of hard drive space available for
hibernation.
3. You need the video driver for the video card isntalled.

Hi Sean,

I don't have the video driver for the video card. But how is it
releated to the hibernate feature. Can you throw some more light on
this?

Thanks,

It has been discussed in the NG, but hibernate makes a call to close down
all drivers. The standard video driver doesn't have this call or doesn't
support it so hibernation fails. The video driver for the actual chip
handles all the right calls and will put the system into hibernation.

Hi,

Now I am able to hibernate and resume from hibernate after adding the
proper vga driver. Thanks for your inputs. But also I noticed that my
boot time has significantly improved. It used to be around 15 secs, but
now after adding the proper vga driver, its booting in around 8 secs.
Is there any releationship between these two?
