I recently acquired a Dell Latitude D620 with nVidia graphics (specifically, it has a "nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)"). I'm using the standard F9 "nv" video driver; I am *NOT* using nVidia's binary driver. Both suspending/resuming and warm [un]docking work, but very occasionally (maybe about 10% of the time), the LCD screen will fail to turn back on after a warm [un]dock. The system is otherwise fine; I can ssh into it remotely. About a week ago, I started using the "dpms_on" quirk (in addition to the vbe_post and vbemode_restore quirks). Since that time, I haven't had a single instance of the screen not turning back on after a suspend/resume or warm [un]dock. Thus, I suspect D620 laptops with nVidia graphics need the dpms_on quirk. Since this quirk should cause no harm (even if it turns out it isn't necessary), please consider adding it to hal-info. Package info: 0:hal-info-20080508-1.fc9.noarch 0:xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.8-1.fc9.x86_64 0:xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-29.20080415.fc9.x86_64
After a few more months of using the dpms_on quirk, I've yet to see an instance of the "LCD doesn't turn back on" bug. Could you push this upstream, please? (I'm getting tired of manually hacking /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi every time it gets overwritten...)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
