Description Christopher Head 2010-12-21 05:02:48 UTC
When booting the above listed combination of packages (or xf86-video-ati-6.13.2, the unstable), as soon as X starts, my monitor goes into DPMS powersave and I get backtraces in dmesg. Downgrading to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r12 fixes the problem. I will attach dmesg output from both kernel versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




# emerge --info sys-kernel/gentoo-sources x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati

Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2010-12-21 23:19:54 UTC
See if booting with radeon.agpmode=-1 kernel parameter makes a difference.
Comment 4 Christopher Head 2010-12-27 02:37:01 UTC
Created attachment 258151 [details]
dmesg output with radeon.agpmode=-1

With radeon.agpmode=-1, same visible effect.

Have you searched for/opened a bug at freedesktop.org?

I have now.
Comment 10 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2011-03-23 00:46:26 UTC
Thanks, we'll watch the upstream bug
