FreeBSD Suspend/Resume

1 Reply

I have been using FreeBSD on the desktops/laptops since about 20
years now and I have described all that I configured in the FreeBSD
Desktop series.

About 1 year ago I shared a video on YouTube and Vimeo showing how a
busy FreeBSD 12.2 handles the suspend/resume cycle on a ThinkPad W520
laptop on a FreeBSD system.

Here it is:

Fast year forward I tried the same on FreeBSD 14.1 system - and it
still works properly the same way.

Why not FreeBSD 14.2 as its already available? Because pkg(8)
packages are built against 'oldest' FreeBSD version in the current
tree - which means FreeBSD 14.1 - and that often breaks kernel
related packages such as really important drm-kmod or
virtualbox-ose-kmod packages.

I will upgrade from 14.1 to 14.2 shortly after 14.1 runs out of
support - which would guarantee having working pkg(8) packages on
FreeBSD 14.2.

As for the recommended settings - check Suspend and Resume part of
the earlier The Power to Serve - FreeBSD Power Management article.

Now for the latest suspend/resume test - here it is:

I leave You with a dilemma on how a Windows or macOS or Linux system
running on the laptop/desktop behaves differently then FreeBSD here ...

Regards.
