This is a big regression for all AMD RS690 users, because the system is unusable. (System works perfectly with 11.3 kernel and latest Xorg) The monitor is flashing black (blinking black) every 1 ~ 2 seconds. Switching to console with ALt-F1 makes the system usable again (stops blinking) trying to switch to an other console with Alt-F2/F3/F4/F5/F6 makes a black screen, nothing is displayed, switching back to the root console with Alt-F1 works, which means I could see what I'm writing and could run the commands for the attachments. My hope was to get this fixed before 11.4 is out, so I'm raising the "Importance" from "Normal" to "Major" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just completely unusable. Sometimes, it does work normal (lets say 1 out of ten) but screen is very much filled with artifacts. I knew this before, because on my openSUSE 11.3 installation, i've upgraded my xorg to the one from the XOrg repo, both tested factory and openSUSE_11.3. They work, as long as you stick with the kernel shipped with 11.3 2.6.37 and even 2.6.38rc4 show the flickering graphics. Description of what happens. System starts up, shows grub. Next i see some boot messages for a few seconds and after that (when KMS becomes active..) the screen continues to show boot messages but with intense flickering graphics. Now comes the funny part.... When logging in into kde via kdm and I blindly suspend the system, it returns from suspend with stable graphics. This is the first time I message here (reporting a bug in the bugzilla) so please tell me what you need so I can help. output from hwinfo --gfxcard: PCI 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] Unique ID: VCu0.yCVxDdqVuW0 Parent ID: vSkL.tc6F4KcTPH4 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "ATI M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300]" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x714a "M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300]" SubVendor: pci 0x1734 "Fujitsu Technology Solutions" SubDevice: pci 0x10cd Driver: "radeon" Driver Modules: "drm" Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x2000-0x2fff (rw) Memory Range: 0xf8100000-0xf810ffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xf8120000-0xf813ffff (ro,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 29 (80611 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00001002d0000714Asv00001734sd000010CDbc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: radeon is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe radeon" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #9 (PCI bridge) Primary display adapter: #24 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
