Description Matt Anderson 2008-06-04 19:35:01 UTC
Description of problem:
When I attach or detach my laptop from its docking station X leaves graphics
mode and has a few colourful noise characters on the top third.  If I switch to
<ctrl><alt>f1 and back to <ctrl><alt>f7 then the display goes back to normal. 
No applications are closed, the X session appears to be fine.  Sometimes it
doesn't go back right away, but it does come back.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-1.1.20080429git.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot and login
2. Undock the laptop
3. Experience issue

  
Actual results:
Screen gets odd characters.

Expected results:
Screen stays in graphics mode and X continues along normally.

Additional info:
This didn't happen on Fedora 8, its only been since I upgraded (via Yum) to
Fedora 9.

Comment 1 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-06-04 20:18:52 UTC
The video perfectly illustrates the issue.

I will need to report this upstream, as this does not happen at all with my
Thinkpad T60 with ATI X1400.

What kind of graphics chip and laptop is that? Do you happen to have an
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file left lying around from such an undock/doc event which
you could attach to this bug?


Comment 2 Matt Anderson 2008-06-04 20:38:42 UTC
Created attachment 308396 [details]
Xorg.0.log

The graphics chip is an ATI Technologies Inc M64-S [Mobility Radeon X2300] and
the laptop is an HP 6910p.

I only have this huge Xorg.0.log file, not one with only the bug showing up. 
I've verified that the bug shows up even when the external HP LP2465 monitor is
not powered or even attached to the docking station.  The dock only provides
wired network, and power.

Comment 3 Leif Gruenwoldt 2008-06-05 13:58:31 UTC
This happens to me too. I have an HP Compaq 8510p laptop with docking station.
