Bug#182924: xserver-xfree86: Xserver freezes on resume from suspend to disk with radeon chips and DRI enabled
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.0-0pre1v2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The Xserver freezes if the machine resumes from suspend to disk and DRI
is enabled on an ATI Radeon card, at least on my ATI Radeon Mobility M6
LY. It will completly lock the machine. This is a known problem. Charl
Botha has written a patch for this. Since it is still not included in the
XF86 cvs and is also missing in XFree86 4.3 according to
<http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg00207.html> and my own
experience with 4.3, I would like to have the patches applied for the
Debian package xserver-xfree86.
More information about this problem can be found at
<http://cpbotha.net/dri_resume.html>, patches can be found at
<http://cpbotha.net/files/dri_resume/>.
I am using the suspend to disk feature of the APM bios, not the swsusp
of the Linux kernel.
