| |
Dear all,
I have the feeling that 2.6.36 has introduced many regressions concerning Intel graphics card.
My problems, all of them new in 2.6.36, are: - suspend is not stable anymore often the backlight comes back on, but the graphic state is not restored and the computer hangs hard, sysrq not working Sometimes not even the backlight is restored.
OTOH, I just went back to 2.6.35 and went to 6 or 7 suspend/resume cycles with doing stuff inbetween, without any rattle or shake, smooth like silk.
- flickering of the display is quite common, and often quite strong, so flashes around like tearing an image for a short time.
- screen redraw problems: sometimes closing a window leaves vertical traces on the screen, on other windows or the gnome panel. This can be fixed by switching to the console and back, or forcing a complete redraw of the window by minimizing it (does not work with panel of course).
- (minor issue) after connecting an external monitor (video projector) the adjustment of the brightness is not working. Even if I unplug the external device brightness adjustment remains disabled. I have to start xrandr or some GUI for adjustment to get brightness adjustment back to work. (not sure if that is a regression)
hardware: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller rev 7 Sony VAIO Z11-VGN
Computing environment: Debian/unstable X server 1.7.7 intel_drv version: 2.12.0
Best wishes
