Description Leo 2006-04-15 15:29:24 UTC
Description of problem:
I add the word severe to indicate this bug is nontrivial. I have experienced it
in 6.8.2 and the recurrence of it shows that the newest update isn't perfect. X
has been doing a good job until this update.

Phenomina:
Suspend to ram works still. Wakeup works too. But X server acts weirdly after
wakeup. Almost all gui apps became "transparent". For example in gnome-terminal,
it becomes transparent and it doesn't display any output. But drag the mouse
across the region will show the output. I have taken the screenshot of
gnome-terminal using "Alt + Print Screen". Look how bizarre this is!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
100%

How reproducible:
Suspend to ram. Maybe this depends on video driver. I'm using i810.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Actual results:

I have downgraded to previous version of X and the bug still exists. So it's a
bug of X11.

Ubuntu daper is having exactly the same bug and they are working hard to fix
it.

A work around have been discovered:

In the file hw/xfree86/common/xf86Bus.c, find the call to "ValidatePci();" and
comment it out? it should be around line 2491:

Do this..

   /* ValidatePci(); */

or 

#if 0
   ValidatePci();
#endif.

Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2006-05-23 13:46:53 UTC
Please report this issue to X.Org developers by filing a bug report in
the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
component.

Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new
bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the
centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that
become available for consideration in future updates.

Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", awaiting X.Org bug URL
for tracking.

Comment 6 Leo 2006-05-24 10:07:33 UTC
Xorg has a couple of bug related to this one:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4353
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5774

It has been marked resolved. I will test it again!

By the way there's a patch (attached) from Ubuntu folks successfully resolved 
this issue.

Comment 7 Adam Jackson 2007-05-03 18:56:11 UTC
Are you still hitting this?

Comment 8 Leo 2007-05-03 23:56:36 UTC
I am not using fedora core 5 now.

But the problem is reproducible with current Fedora rawhide kernel and X server.


Comment 9 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-03 13:51:29 UTC
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, please, could you reproduce this bug with
the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or
Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please
let us know in this bug report.  If after a month's time we have not heard back
from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX/INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 10 Leo 2007-07-03 14:20:06 UTC
More than a year has passed and I am not sure if I am reproducing the bug.

Maybe we can just close the bug and let it bury in somewhere.

Comment 11 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-03 14:31:12 UTC
Thanks, and I am really sorry for the state of our bugzilla, that we left this
bug so long unnoticed (comment 9 is obviously one of our attempts to get
bugzilla into manageable state again). If it will happen again on supported
distro, please, don't hesitate to file a new bug.

Comment 12 Leo 2007-07-03 14:35:57 UTC
No problem.
