Hi all, Recently (in the past couple of weeks) my laptop with Debian squeeze installed starting getting epilepsy when I close the lid and open it again. By epilepsy I mean the screen flashes as everything redraws constantly and the mouse cursor jumps diagonally back and forth. Happens no matter which desktop system I'm using (even Failsafe Terminal). Happens when I have a virtual console active instead of Xorg. Restarting gdm/Xorg doesn't help, the new Xorg does it too. I downgraded to versions of xorg, xorg intel drivers, linux and hal that didn't have this issue but that didn't help. I currently have KMS disabled due to issues with suspend/resume. Windows XP does not suffer the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas about how to debug this? Is it a known bug? Which package could be at fault? Did I somehow damage my hardware?
Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400, more info here: http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Dell/Inspiron6400/lenny lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) lspci -n: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:27a2 (rev 03) 00:02.1 0380: 8086:27a6 (rev 03) -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
