Try to install from console package upower-devel. Does it help? No, it does not work. My F15 is updated, but the problem is still here. OK, then it is something different and we need more information to find out what's going on here. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. Created attachment 483186 [details]

Hi, Matej, I hope it helps. Let me know if you need more info. (In reply to comment #9) > Hi, Matej, I hope it helps. > Let me know if you need more info. By the way, my system does not have a xorg.conf Just to let you know that the last update to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-20.20110224gitbc5dec2.fc15.i686 did not fix the problem. I've noticed that the same bug is present in my new openSUSE 11.4 install, so, that means that the problem is not restricted to Fedora. I have the same problem with ATI Radeon x1400 card (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400). It seems that screens connected via VGA are affected with this bug. The same situation is in OpenSuse 11.4. Output of dmesg between blinking: [ 415.009892] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], LCD1 connected [ 415.040474] [drm:radeon_atom_dac_detect], Bios 0 scratch 40002 00000004 [ 415.040488] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], TV1 disconnected [ 415.103227] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], CRT1 connected [ 415.009892] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], LCD1 connected [ 415.040474] [drm:radeon_atom_dac_detect], Bios 0 scratch 40002 00000004 [ 415.040488] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], TV1 disconnected [ 415.103227] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], CRT1 connected [ 418.935985] gspca: URB error -32, resubmitting [ 445.009902] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], LCD1 connected [ 445.040479] [drm:radeon_atom_dac_detect], Bios 0 scratch 40002 00000004 [ 445.040494] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], TV1 disconnected [ 445.103321] [drm:radeon_atombios_connected_scratch_regs], CRT1 connected After asking in #nouveau on irc.freenode.net I got the information, to try booting with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 first. After this didn't help here they've been sure the problem is caused by a userspace application still polling for CRT changes. The nouveau hackers added events to the drm so apps didn't have to sit in a loop reprobing. I've been asked to kill userspace applications until the problem disappears. Killing upowerd actually did the trick here then, the blanks disappeared, and I'm a happy nouveau user now :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 668297 *** |
