Description Jure Repinc 2010-06-04 21:14:55 UTC

When I start up my laptop HP Compaq nx6325 with integrated RS482 and have Radeon KMS enabled the laptop just freezes when it usually would switch to the right resolution. All worked fine in kernel version 2.6.24. I bisected the commits and the one that was problematic is:

drm/radeon/kms/pm: rework power management

Comment 1 Alex Deucher 2010-06-04 21:23:30 UTC

Does applying the following two patches help?
http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/0001-drm-radeon-kms-add-support-for-internal-thermal-sens.patch
http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/0001-drm-radeon-kms-pm-Misc-fixes.patch
The first one isn't relevant to your hw, but the second one won't apply cleanly
without it.

Comment 2 Jure Repinc 2010-06-04 22:00:02 UTC

Applied and recompiled and it didn't help.

don't touch power state

Does this patch fix it?

Comment 4 Jure Repinc 2010-06-04 23:09:02 UTC

No, still freezes.

fix pm on rs4xx IGPs

does this help?

btw can you suspend/resume on that machine?

Comment 6 Jure Repinc 2010-06-07 23:20:54 UTC

Yes, after applying this patch laptop boots again normaly. Thanks!

As for suspending/resuming:
Most of the time it suspends and resumes just fine. But in about 1 out of 5-10 tries the machine freezes, mostly when suspending, sometimes when comming back. The screen just remains black. And I have a feeling that the chance of freezing up is higher if I leave a DVD in the DVD drive and it spins it up/down while resumning or suspending. But this is also the case on kernel 2.6.34. Not just with 2.6.25-rc1. I should probably report another bug for this problem?
