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. Here is the bug in action: http://www.youtube.com/v/84rxcRSYrUY
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?
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.
This happens to me too. I have an HP Compaq 8510p laptop with docking station. $ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-1.1.20080429git.fc9.i386 $ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series] Undock Xorg.0.log ------------------------------------------------ (EE) Read error: No such device (WW) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Release failed (No such device) (II) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Close (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (II) RADEONHD(0): LVDSSetBacklight: trying to set BL_MOD_LEVEL to: 255 (EE) RADEONHD(0): TMDSAVoltageControl: unhandled chipset: 0x9581.
