Mmmm... Now that 2.6.25-rc* is usable here, there's another symptom that's been happening regularly enough that it's got to be a regression of some sort. This machine has an ATI X1400 video card, which doesn't work with any open source X server that I know of. Maybe latest RadeonHD would work but it didn't when I tried it in January. So I'm using the ATI binary fglrx X server, but without their kernel module, so no 3D acceleration (fine.. only affects Google Earth, really). Now.. on 2.6.25, after a suspend/resume cycle (or three), the framebuffer frequently starts going wonky. "snowy" pixels appear, and stay. Just a moment ago here, the entire background changed to zebra stripes. And so on.. Peculiar stuff. I'm wondering if something to do with video mode switching, or video register save/restore, has changed since 2.6.24. Because it's broken in 2.6.25, yet works fine in all earlier kernels. ??? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
