kernel .config file
After upgrading from 2.6.34 to 2.6.35.1 on my laptop, I'm seeing a hang and
blank screen when X is started if a VGA or DVI monitor is connected to the
docking station before boot. If I boot without the VGA or DVI monitor
connected, and hotplug them after X is started, all is fine. Interestingly,
there is no problem when both the VGA and DVI monitors are connected.
Console on radeondrmfb works all the time.
Attached you can find the kernel .config, dmesg with and without the panel
attached on boot and the Xorg log on success and failure.
I've bisected the problem to the following change :
ce8f53709bf440100cb9d31b1303291551cf517f is the first bad commit
commit ce8f53709bf440100cb9d31b1303291551cf517f

drm/radeon/kms/pm: rework power management
- Separate dynpm and profile based power management methods. You can
select the pm method
by echoing the selected method ("dynpm" or "profile") to power_method in
sysfs.
- Expose basic 4 profile in profile method
"default" - default clocks
"auto" - select between low and high based on ac/dc state
"low" - DC, low power mode
"high" - AC, performance mode
The current base profile is "default", but it should switched to "auto"
once we've tested
on more systems. Switching the state is a matter of echoing the
requested profile to
power_profile in sysfs. The lowest power states are selected
automatically when dpms turns
the monitors off in all states but default.
- Remove dynamic fence-based reclocking for the moment. We can revisit
this later once we
have basic pm in.
- Move pm init/fini to modesetting path. pm is tightly coupled with
display state. Make sure
display side is initialized before pm.
- Add pm suspend/resume functions to make sure pm state is properly
reinitialized on resume.
- Remove dynpm module option. It's now selectable via sysfs.
