Bug 341997 – x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel: Xorg display scrambled after resume from suspend to ram

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Leon 2010-10-21 10:28:20 UTC]

On my Lenovo Thinkpad X61s, the Xorg display is often completely scrambled after resuming from suspend to ram, featuring a great impression of red/purple stripes all over the place, flickering beautifully. The mouse pointer is movable but represented by an approximately 2*2cm square of light dots, overlayed over the previously described pattern.

I should note that I've been experiencing this problem for a long time, perhaps one or a half year, using many different xorg-server and driver versions. It feels like the problem has increased since the upgrade to xorg-server-1.9 and xorg-driver-1.9, as it happens almost every time I resume.

leon@hactar ~ % lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

The xorg-server version I am running is 1.9.0.901 together with xorg-drivers 1.9, but as I mentioned, this happened with previous versions as well (IIRC even 1.6).

$ uname -a
Linux hactar 2.6.35-gentoo-r10 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 13 10:31:58 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU L7500 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Just as with the xorg-server, I experienced this with much older kernels as well.

When this happens, I'm left with the option of killing xorg by using ctrl+shift+backspace, which works and restarts the server. I'll attach the complete Xorg.0.log.old file that I'm left with afterwards, but here's an excerpt of the parts that I think are relevant:

[ 79784.158] (EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or even a frozen display: Input/output error.

Waiting longer before killing the server will result in multiplication of those lines.





Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Suspend to RAM.
2. Resume.
Actual Results:  
Display scrambled and unusable.

Expected Results:  
Display usable ;)

Sorry for the *very* long delay... Are you still having troubles with the latest ~arch ebuild (2.20.14 as of today). If so, please let us know and open a bug report upstream [1].

Thanks
