Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

For me too, for now. I'll test it a day or two a lil further... For now, works great...

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

Is anyone still experiencing the same issues with 2.6.33? I've installed a vanilla 2.6.33.1 on my laptop, but the symptoms still persist (1 out of 3 times the system will either hang completely after a suspend, hang after a resume, or the video will simply be turned off).

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

OK, after reading through this thread (one would think I'd do that prior to posting, but oh well), I tried:

pm-suspend --quirk-vbestate-restore --store-quirks-as-fdi

(which added a no_chvt quirk to the fdi file, whatever that is), and using the pm-suspend command works like a charm, as does suspending by choosing the "Sleep" option from the KDE menu. However, if I try to put my desktop to sleep by closing the lid, I get a blank screen after resuming, i.e. opening the lid. Sometimes I can switch to the VTs, sometimes I can not. Oddly enough, if I suspend using one of the other methods, then close the lid, and re-open it, everything works great again.

xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto

Doesn't seem to do anything after resuming. I also get some errors in error.log:

Mar 19 13:25:15 ogi-laptop kernel: [  513.215052] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
Mar 19 13:25:15 ogi-laptop kernel: [  513.215067] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000

but these also seem to be on a random basis. Toshiba Satellite A100 with an Intel 945GM here, FWIW.

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

Hi,
I have a Core2Duo and Intel video chipsets.
I run GNOME on Arch64 and I had a problem. The screen would remain blank after i closed the lid of the laptop.
I tried every option in GNOME power manager. Didn't work.
Finally, I installed xf86-video-intel.

$ pacman -S xf86-video-intel

That solved the problem.

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

I still have this problem on my Dell Inspiron 1525 with the Intel X3100 video card. When I close the lid (it just blocks the screen) and then open it the screen remains black. I have to switch to one of the terminals (ctrl + alt + f1-6) to restore my screen.

$ pacman -Q kernel26 xf86-video-intel
kernel26 2.6.33.2-1
xf86-video-intel 2.10.0-1

Has anyone with the same video card, kernel and driver managed to solve the issue?

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

After yesterdays (or the day before) update, I have simmilar issue. When I go to sleep mode, then wake up, screen stays black. I have Acer aspire 5520 with nvidia 7000M. After closeing and opening the lid, the backlight works fine for me. As I was googling the error, and browsing this thread, the screen suddenly turns on and I could work normal with my laptop. I tried it once again, and the situation is same. After few minutes, everything works fine.
I have also tried to switch to tty1 and reboot while screen was black, but that was not working. (Can't evet turn on the CapsLock)

Acer aspire 5520 (nvidia 7000M)
Arch x86_64 2.6.33.2-1
nvidia 195.36.15-2
KDE 4.4

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

I seem to be having the same problem with on a Dell E1505n using kernel 2.6.33.4-1. When I close my lid, the screen goes blank. When I reopen it, it stays blank. Switching the VT does not bring the screen back. The logs show nothing interesting. noapic did not seem to change anything.

Did we ever figure this out? Is it a kernel issue or something else?

2.6.33.5 includes a patch for the x3100 owners who have problems after STR. I don't since 2.6.33-rc8 but there were users that reported this isues afterwards for GM965.

Re: Kernel 2.6.32.2-2 black screen after closing laptop lid (intel + KMS)

Heh, I also don't get lockups anymore, but now the "lid closed" event doesn't reliably move my computer to standby - which is exactly the same behavior I experienced maybe a year earlier.
