Last week I emerged the new xorg 1.5 with hal. The same world-built also shipped a new ati-driver. For this to compile I needed to upgrade my kernel from linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r8 to current stable linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r10. Following the xorg-1.5 upgrade guide (especially the evdev and hal things were important to me) I finally emerged world and rebooted. Now, every time I close the lid of my laptop and re-open it the X-display becomes scrambled and I can create a few input events (i.e. move the mouse, hit some keys) before the machines freezes completely. * Sometimes an SSH session still lives * Sometimes it is dead for a minute or something and then comes back. Then I can see the X process consuming 100% CPU. This process can not be killed. Not even with kill -9 * The problem seems to be connected to ACPI because I can produce a similar behaviour when I call aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 and =3 (or vice versa?). I came up with this because I found that the ACPI event is handled by /etc/acpi/ati-powermode.sh where I found that command. * I've seen CPU-Locks in /var/log/messages, but not every time. * Some really scary looking things in /var/log/messages where: Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [fglrx] ASIC hang happened Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva Pid: 13387, comm: X Tainted: P 2.6.27-gentoo-r7 #3 Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [<f9844990>] KCL_DEBUG_OsDump+0x8/0xa [fglrx] Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [<f9853ed9>] firegl_hardwareHangRecovery+0x19/0x30 [fglrx] Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [<f98d5f8b>] ? _ZN4Asic9WaitUntil15ResetASICIfHungEv+0xb/0x20 [fglrx] Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [<f98d5f27>] _ZN4Asic9WaitUntil15WaitForCompleteEv+0x97/0xf0 [fglrx] Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [<f98dafec>] _ZN6AsicR616ASICIdleInternalEN4Asic15idle_WaitMethodE+0xcc/0x1f0 [fglrx] Apr 20 15:23:03 minerva [<f98b2136>] ?

Any help on how get a wonderful stable notebook again (as it had been for months before that) is highly appreciated.

Reopen lid (sometimes it only crashes if I wait a few seconds before opening the lid) Actual Results: Crash as described in Description field above. Expected Results: Continue to run.

Please attach your xorg.conf file.
Created attachment 189431 [details] My current xorg.conf Thanks for taking care. I attached my current xorg.conf. I tried without any xorg.conf at all, earlier I still had the input devices active and I tried the settings mentioned when emerging ati-drivers. I not 100% sure, though, that I tried everything. Regards, Stefan
Update: In the meantime I recompiled all of kde-base (no change) and removed the kde configuration ($HOME/.kde/ and $HOME/.kderc) (also no change). I tried this because there is no problem when only kdm is running. Just when I log in can I crash the machine. Damn, I need this computer up and running. I hope this is not my way to Ubuntu (though, I've seen similar posts with Ubuntu, so it may make no difference?). Regards, Stefan
More experiments: * modprobe -r ath9k Unfortunately I suffer from Atheros AR5418-sickness. Used an SVN-trunk madwifi for ages with little problems, the current ath9k keeps disconnecting all the time (about every minute or so). Since there was also a PCI-problem announced in syslog I thought I'd try without that module. No change. * Recompiled x11-libs, x11-apps, app-laptop, sys-power No change. Any more ideas, what I could try? Should I attach my kernel config? I'm about to remerge world (521 packages currently so it'll take some time). Regards, Stefan
A new observation: if I open and close the lid once or sometimes twice, I will get the scrambled screen. Doing some input then like hitting a key or moving the mouse or pressing a mouse button will lead to the freezing of the machine within seconds. Opening and closing the lid some more times will get me back to a normal display,which I can't crash, again. It _is_ kind of a work-around. Other then that: I now load the acpi-cpufreq module and removed ath-modules completely from the kernel. Without success. I can't help but feeling that I miss something simple and maybe obvious. Regards, Stefan
The problem only occurs when the laptop is powered. When running on batteries I can't seem to provoke the error.
Since this seems to be a monologue, I'm at the end of what little wisdom I may have, and I need this computer in two days urgently, I will install that other Linux distribution today. Unfortunately we'll loose a test-case that way. Hopefully I'll find the time to get back to Gentoo later. (Still running Gentoo on the desktop, though, so I'm not lost :-) Cheers, Stefan
Just for the record: FGLRX in Jaunty with my radeon Mobility X1400 fails miserably (no X at all, that card was dropped by ATI as it seems) and I now use the open source drivers. Using the external monitor requires X restart, though. ... so that is my punishment ;-) Cheers, Stefan
Well i would recommend to switch onto xf86-video-ati. Sadly there is no hope in old ati-drivers releases, that is why i masked them too. The bug since it is binary blob is cantfix, sorry.
