This is a *regression* compared to 2.6.35
OK, it's being tracked now.
Haven't tried 2.6.36 yet...
bug not present in 2.6.36
ok, i reclassified it as a regression from 2.6.36. Your version strings reads: "2.6.37-rc1-00116-g151f52f-dirty" (note the -dirty). I assume you have no relevant (to the issue at hand) changes in your working copy?
No patches applied if that's what you mean.
hmm.. I wonder why there is "-dirty" appended to the version... that normally means, that there were uncommitted changes in the working directory when you compiled the tree... "git diff" should show you... If you didn't intentionally change anything, you can just do "git reset --hard" which will reset all files to it's original state... but this looses all changes... obviously.. Regards, Flo
You are right. I change logo to archlinux's so git gets mad. Here is the build i do. http://tracker.kromonos.net/repositories/browse/nightlyarch/kernel26-git NO patches applied.

Should i compile rc2 again without anything? Any other info needed?
You could try the latest kernel. I can't see any error in your dmesg. From the description I assume that the radeon card is at fail. If nobody pipes up with any other sugestion, a bisection to find the offending commit should get us somewhere. (see `man git-bisect`)
Setting ati in BIOS + boot with latest kernel26-git is successful. it's the switch... I'll try asap and post results. oh mighty ccache help me!
Did you find anything useful?
It's 12 steps between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37-rc1... I have still to compile && try :(
Someone fixed it somehow. In final 2.6.37 all works fine
Good to hear! Because we don't know the commit that fixed it, I change the resolution field to 'unreproducible'.
