https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479622 Summary: Display becomes corrupt after whiching to battery, if booting up on battery X hangs. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jefowler@hughes.net QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.6 I have the following hardware: Compaq 6910p with ATI X2300 video display. I am currently using the ATI Catalyst 9.2 driver, problem was manifest in 9.1 driver, problem can be seen in the opensource drivers radeon, OSS radeonhd, and vesa drivers. Did not have issue prior to upgrading to 11.1, worked okay with 11.0 and 10.2. Basically, if I am on ac power everything is working okay. Once I unplug the AC power, the screen starts to become corrupt, until it is an unusable grabage screen. If I try to boot up on AC power, once X server starts the system will hang, and lock up. Can not do anything but a hard power off to get back control of the system. Also during the lock the fans will kick on full speed. Which would give the impress of something hung in a loop and using up all the cpu. Tested the power up issue, had the system boot to runlevel 3, and then modified xorg.conf to use the radeon, radeonhd, and vesa drivers saw same issue, when startx was issued. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.If on ac power unplug ac and screen will start to corrupt. 2.Power up without AC power, and X will hang as soon as it starts. 3.Tested the power up issue, with radeon, radeonhd, and vesa drivers Actual Results: Nothing special here simple unplug the ac power and screen corruption will begin immediately. Same for booting without AC power. Expected Results: This should function as it did before, with the 11.0, and 10.2 versions of opensuse. do not have a serial port on the laptop, and so far have not been able to login remotely either. System appears to be hung solid. Have performed a reinstall from scratch did not resolve issue. Unforunately, since it is present in the open source drivers switching to them did does not help. Also using the open source ones for some reason X becomes unstable, and can hang during normal use. -- 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.
