From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-0.1.25 i686) After upgrading to rh 7.0, and now in the 7.0.91 beta as well (both times a fresh install on a free partition) the display stays black when resuming from suspend. It used to be ok in rh 6.2. Everything else works fine, so I can login over the network, kill the X server and sometimes kbd_mode -a will allow me to continue work. Sometimes the console stays garbled and a reboot is needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot 2. startx (I don't run gdm) 3. apm -s || close lid || Fn + F4 4. Fn || open lid (now X desktop used to show up again, but with 7.0 (X 4.0+ ) display stays black) 5. login over the network 6. kill hanging X 7. kbd_mode -a sometimes gives control again None of the XFree86-4.0 (from rawhide) work ! But the 6.2 XF86_SVGA (X 3.3.6) does !! FIX: cp /redhat6.2/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA mv /etc/X11/X /etc/X11/X.old ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /etc/X11/X Now suspending and resuming works fine ! This is on a Thinkpad 390E which used to require a kernel rebuild to make suspend work. But since you put CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y in the rh7 kernel config, suspend now works out-of-the-box, except for this bug that is. *Everybody* installing rh7 on a thinkpad 390 has this problem. My company has 2000+ Thinkpads so go figure. I suggest you change the 100% compatible mark for the Neomagic NM2200 in your hardware list.
Please try XFree86-4.0.3-1 and Mesa 3.4-13 from: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris Does this solve the problem for you?
Sorry for not getting back to you on this any soooner. No, upgrading XFree86-4.0.3-1 and Mesa 3.4-13, didn't make any difference. Neither did 7.1. Upgrading my laptop to another make/brand did :) I remember one other thing that points to the neomagic driver: Moving a maximized window slightly to and from the edge would reproducibly result in a blurred window. Minimizing and maximizing would restore things to normal. The same in all windowmanagers I tested (windowmaker, sawfish, twm) and all versions of X I used, from 3.2 up to 4.0.2. Anyway since I don't have the neomagic anymore I'll not be able to provide you any more information on this. I'm assigning this back to you mike There are clearly still bugs but you could just as well close it untill someone else reports it again.
Ok, closing bug - wish there was a CANTLOOKINTOIT because NOTABUG isn't right - it is a bug, WONTFIX isn't right - we will fix it, when we have info.. ;o)
