Re: [Bug 538377] Re: HD3450 HDMI output intermittently turns off

 

No fglrx remnants showed up in the checks, but I followed the 
reinstallation instructions anyway.  I've also removed the xorg.conf and 
rebooted, with a log as attached.  The boot and xserver startup were 
normal, but the problem remains, with HDMI output turning off after some 
time.

Using the stock lucid kernel, the current version 
linux-image-2.6.32-16-generic (2.6.32-16.25), the same HDMI problem 
occurs.  With both kernels, remote login and using xrandr to change the 
mode restores the HDMI output.

However, I'm more sure now that having mplayer running continuously but 
paused prevents the HDMI output turning off (at least, it has never 
happened so far).  Maybe this is some power management issue, where 
having mplayer running prevents the HDMI output getting into some low 
power state from which it cannot return.
