First of all I don't think it's a bug related to tuxonice-sources kernel. The problem is quite simple to describe: when I boot the system up with "i915.modeset=1" in kernel parameters, the screen turns black and no more output is written. The computer starts up normal and I can shut him down or reboot with no problems. When boot process reaches gdm, I can login, but textrendering is and resolution seems to be set to 1024x768. Console switching keeps me back to the black screen and after 2-3 mins X hangs up and the only thing I can do is to hardly power my pc down. (4 seconds button techique. I know that suggested (or working) xorg-server version is 1.6 (I use 1.5.3). Infact this problem is mainly related to the boot process. I use grub. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set i915.modeset=1 in kernel parameters 2. boot the system Actual Results: Blank screen, no vt, xorg hangs after 2-3 mins Expected Results: System should bootup normally and reach xdm.

Can you reproduce this problem with any other kernel than tuxonice-sources?

Reopen this bug when you provide the requested information.
Sorry for being late. I've tried with gentoo-sources 2.6.29-r4 and I have *exactly* the same issues. Pratically, during the boot I can see the "tuzs" for one-two seconds and then black screen since xorg starts (with the wrong resolution). I noticed that if I click on "Session" menu (in gdm) and then I try to click the Cancel button, suddently all the system crash (only thing left I can do is to manually power the notebook off). I've noticed a couple of lines in dmesg that I have always had in every kernel I tried so far: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 on minor 0 intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM/945GME/965G/965GM ch ipsets intelfb: Version 0.9.6 intelfb: Cannot reserve FB region. DRM seems to get initialiazed fine but the framebuffer seems to have some problems to reserve a region (in memory?). Infact, now that I think about that, I always had problems to run something in framebuffer (like tuxonice userUI, just an example). I give you more specs about Macbook hardware: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Apple_Macbook#Existing_Models My model is Late 2007 (4 Gen). I'll attach my .config file Thanks

Just a thing I forgot to mention. In previous report (comment #1) I say that I have a Macbook 3,1. I was wrong. The notebook is a Macbook 4,1 (Late 2007 (4 Gen)). Just to clarify. Thanks
Please try one of the newer git-sources (2.6.30-rX). If that doesn't work, please open a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla. Please paste the url here so we can track the bug. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21806 Here you are :)
Thanks, let's track the bug upstream then.
