I am very happy to have your input on this as I am having a tough time navigating how to handle Xen as well as Linux when it doesn’t play nicely for my hardware… That being said, I am going to need a bit of time to decipher your suggestion, because I don’t know how to add boot parameter to Xen yet (I will look it up); I just learned how to add boot parameters to grub today for Linux :). Is that very different? And the github link seems to suggest patching Xen?? And I definitely don’t know how to do that. I really want to learn, but I don’t know what to do yet.
Is the deeper idle state you mean an “awake” state that just uses less power, or is that a suspend state? Either one is great, but I just tried something to try to fix suspend (which did not work…) Would you be willing to take a quick look at what I just tried to do to fix it unsuccessfully on my dedicated forum post for this issue? The ability to have lower power states is important to me, so I’d love to get that set.
