Hi again!
I already posted something on this list, but I did not receive many
answers. I hope to be luckier now:-)
The short version of the problem is the following: when the screen of my
laptop should switch off, instead of black it becomes white!
A bit longer version: it is not 100 percent white, and the transition is
not immediate. It starts getting brighter and brighter at the borders,
and then it expands till the centre of the screen (it takes nearly one
second to complete). It looks like it is burning, but the screen comes
back as it was before as soon as I move the mouse or press a key.
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A7645, with AMD Turion64. I'm running
Debian for AMD64, with kernel 2.6.12. The graphic card is a SiS M760.
I'm using the framebuffer (sisfb + fbcon) and Xorg 6.8.2. Here is the
relevant part of my xorg.conf:
---------------
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "sis"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Option "DRI" "true"
Option "UseSSE" "true"
Option "ScaleLCD" "no"
Option "UseColorHWCursor" "yes"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

And here is lscpi -vv (just the part about the graphic card):
