Description Andrea Bartoli 2013-01-17 07:53:41 UTC
This is my first bug report, so be patience.
Recently I decided to try (again) Kernel Modesetting for my old ATI Xpress 200M video card. I don't spend time writing my pain to succeed.

Now it's working.

The problem is the crash upon resume after suspension. With or without X on, it blocks my PC, no magic SYSRQ keys working.

The solution came from google. I paste the solving sentence:

[quote]Edit the file radeon_combios.c and find the line that says /* DYN CLK 1 */
Just before that line add the following:

/* quirk for rs4xx laptop to make it resume
* - it hangs on resume inside the dynclk 1 table.
*/
if (rdev->family == CHIP_RS480)
return;

After changing this, then simply compile your kernel, package it and install it. With KMS enabled it works like a charm.[/quote]

I did this manually and it WORKED.

Tell me which info do I have to post.

Andrea
Comment 1 David J Cozatt 2013-01-17 14:38:05 UTC
I had one of these some time ago and did not have the issue you report however that could be due to kernel changes. 

You will need to post the output of 'emerge --info' one way to do that would be 

<code>
emerge --info > emerge-system-info  
</code>

then post that file as an attachment. There is not a patch here and that should be removed from your bug report.

1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 
2) What category/package-version are you patching?

Comment 5 Andrea Bartoli 2013-01-17 18:05:09 UTC
The patch described above should patch the file I have in /usr/src/linux-3.5.7-gentoo/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_combios.c

I hope, I put all needed info.

Comment 7 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-01-17 18:34:40 UTC
Have you tried a more recent kernel like 3.6.11 (gentoo-sources) and a development kernel like 3.8.0-rc3 (git-sources)?
Comment 8 Andrea Bartoli 2013-01-17 18:57:24 UTC
no, I did not.
I achieved KMS only with month of tries! And suspension even longer.
Comment 9 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2013-01-27 16:19:08 UTC
Tom's suggestion is a good one. Can you test with the latest 3.7 kernel?
Comment 10 Andrea Bartoli 2013-01-27 20:16:23 UTC
Are they going to been stabilized soon?

If useful I can test in a few days, but that "patch" has been descovered in 2010! Any chance?

    Linux 3.1-rc4

See the attached blame, there are checks present but the last one was introduced right after Linux 3.1-rc4; so yes, you should indeed have them. Indeed, a new quirk would need to be added for your vendor and device; the patch you currently have is not a proper patch since it allows any device on the family and not just your device of your vendor.

Could you report this upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org?

Please attach the output of `lspci -vnn` there in an attachment so they know the details needed for the quirk. Can you also link the bugs to each other?
Comment 12 Andrea Bartoli 2013-02-21 22:31:14 UTC
Going to test on gentoo-sources-3.7.9 stabilized.
Keep you informed.

Not resolved in gentoo-sources-3.7.9
Comment 14 Andrea Bartoli 2013-03-03 16:46:15 UTC
If my first proposal was too generic, this is specific of my card ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE), and works as well.
Is this useful?
