GPU cannot resume from suspend/hibernate/vt-switch
Last modified: 2013-01-21 07:43:17 EST
Description of problem: When resuming from suspend or hibernate or switching back to x after switching vt. Screen flickers in a loop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.0.0 - 0.7.20121015gitbd9e2c064.fc18 (but has been there before!) How reproducible: nearly everytime (it worked a few times from those many tests i did, but same settings did not work just a minute later, so it was kind of random) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Suspend (via Gnome or pm-suspend) 2. Resume Actual results: Screen flickers, unuseable! Expected results: Resume...

This seems to be kernel related. I tried kernel from fedora 17 install media and it worked!
I can confirm the same issue on a Thinkpad X121e with a: 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Kernel driver in use: radeon Also for me, it's a couple of weeks at least I see this issue. Trying to switch to another console does not work. The only "solution" I have found is holding down the power button and restarting. The kernel from Fedora 17 is okay for me, too. Oddly enough, trying to open gnome-terminal and using "pm-suspend" does not result in a problem on resume, while closing the laptop lid and waiting for automatic suspension does.
seems fixed in 3.6.3-3.fc18.x86_64?
Looks much better to me, but still not fixed. I can get this issue about one time in 20 with kernel 3.6.3-3. Probably a race condition is still present somewhere?
I've just had this on a resume using 3.6.11-3 on a Samsung RV515-A01 using radeon on a 6310HD.
Had gone away, but resurfaced with the latest 3-4 kernel revisions. Now running 3.7.1-5.fc18.x86_64, I hit this bug around ~50% of the times I resume from suspend. Only solution is an hard reset.
