[Bug 305301] Re: [RC410] Xpress 200M hangs when resuming from suspend with DRI

 

@jetdog , probably you are talking about the working fglrx driver on Intrepid?
I tried two versions of the driver: the one that is in the default Jaunty installation as a restricted module, and the one that is compiled on the same system (the original ATI driver v9.3). No matter what xorg.conf i used (I played with almost all the options) it didn't work on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 (having Xpress 200M ATI card). By "didn't work" i mean X hang and machine becoming totally unusable without a restart.
So the only solution for me was to use the radeon driver. It works ok and almost the same way as the fglrx on Intrepid (before upgrading to Jaunty), but if you do not disable DRI, resume from suspend is not possible. Here is the part of the xorg.conf that works for me with the radeon driver:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "ATI RADEON 200M"
	Driver "radeon"
	BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
	
	Option "DRI" "off"

	Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
	Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
	Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
	Option "EnableDepthMoves" "on"
	Option "ColorTiling" "on"
	Option "AccelDFS" "on"
	Option "FBTexPercent" "0"
	Option "RenderAccel" "on"
EndSection

Offtopic:

As a personal point of view.... I am sure I will NOT use anything that
has the brand ATI from now on. And I am planning on changing my
distro... because Ubuntu was my choice at the time it was known as the
most stable and at the same time having best hardware support among all
distros. But this I think is past... Ever since I upgraded to Intrepid
with its funny KDE4 beta, i have only problems with Ubuntu... A few days
ago I decided to upgrade to Jaunty... which was a great mistake.... and
i have troubles again - not only with ATI.... I never do have serious
troubles on my other two PCs - gentoo and mandriva behave much better
nowadays... Anyway that was totally offtopic... Sorry :)
