Bug#570466: it's been a month, is this still a problem?

Hi Rémi,

Rémi Letot<hobbes@poukram.net>  (26/10/2010):
I have tried that option on 2.6.36 and 2.6.32 from sid, and I
haven't had a single blackout for more than one week. It could still
be a coincidence since the problem is completely random, but that
would be a huge one...
[…]
I'll try to build that and use it at my next reboot.

what's the status with 2.6.37-1-$arch available in sid (possibly with
an up-to-date X stack in sid)?

Hi,

I'm tracking sid for most of the system, and experimental when available for the X stack.

Since I reported the bug, the only combination that was potentially free from blackouts was with kernel 2.6.37-rc7. I say potentially because I'm not 100% sure, but I can't remember having had a blackout with that kernel. But I don't have that package anymore, so I can't verify that.

I rebooted this morning to 2.6.37-1 and got several blackouts since then. The blackouts tend to disappear when uptime rises, so I don't reboot often :-)

By the way, the radeon.new_pll=0 trick has not been possible with 2.6.37. As passing that option while booting used to solve the problem (or more probably hide it), has that option been renamed or is it gone ?

Thanks,

Rémi
