[Bug 13983] New: radeonhd: after Thinkpad suspend, text consoles are all black
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13983 Summary: radeonhd: after Thinkpad suspend, text consoles are all black Product: xorg Version: git Platform: Other URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=459691 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Driver/radeonhd AssignedTo: lverhaegen@suse.de ReportedBy: brice.goglin@ens-lyon.org QAContact: xorg-team@lists.x.org Bug reported by Chip Salzenberg on the Debian BTS a couple days ago, applies to 1.1.0 and current git. If an X session with the radeonhd driver is running on my Thinkpad, and I suspend it (with acpitool), then on resume, all text (non-X) vts are all black. Nothing seems to bring them back. The config and log are both available at the URL above. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

When suspending in text console mode, the text console is restored. Of course. How can you even ask this? It's been the behavior of Linux ever since Linux
How can I ask this? Because sometimes the text console is not restored when suspend to RAM is done. Can't you imagine that this gets asked for a reason?
first supported APM! And it has absolutely *NOTHING* to do with any driver.
APM? Your system is still using APM? APM attempts to restore the video mode itself.
BTW - you're assigning the bug to me? I'm just the reporter, I know nothing about the internals of the driver. This is one screwed-up development process.
Because bugzilla was updated and the NEEDINFO state was removed. So this has proven to be the only reliable way to get feedback from the reporter. Look at comment #4. How long has this been sitting there before there was any feedback? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Chip, This seems to be exactly why we usually get switched to VT before going into suspend. All X drivers know is save/restore. There are no hooks for "we're going into suspend now" or "please fix-up some mode you didn't set up in the first place as we just had a suspend". Our driver usually does a pretty good job with save/restore, it also clearly does a very good job setting a full X mode on hardware that just came out of suspend. There are not many drivers which are doing this as well. What our driver doesn't do at all, is magically restore that VT to a state that it wasn't in before. How could it do this anyway? Would it be possible to verify whether the VT really restores out of a suspend/resume cycle, without having run X at all? Can you then also verify that X is being switched away before actually going into suspend? About "fglrx" doing this correctly... Whatever fglrx does is not our business, and even if it was, we have no real way of finding out what exactly it is doing and what the reasoning behind this is. It is a binary only driver. Feel free to keep on using this binary driver if you really feel that we, and our very open driver development model, are at fault here. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
