--- Comment #17 from Manuel Ullmann <[email protected]> 2010-02-08 13:32:53 --- Sorry, that this took so long. I was offline for 2 days. I guess you mean the Ctrl+Alt+Fn key-combo, because laptops have usually also a key with the keycode 'SWITCHVIDEOMODE' on a Fn+Fx key-combo. Well, display switching works fine. Switching from console to X takes ca. 2 seconds. The switchvideomode-key (for me Fn+F4) switches backwards through consoles from F12 to F1, while there is actually a 13th X interface (this would be F13) before switching to F12 (/var/log/messages). But maybe it is reserved for something else. Using Fn+F4 writes also 'p' out to console and X. Since a comparison with the kernel behaviour of a desktop pc, I know now what the kernel is trying to do after this time amount of 5 min. in console. It tries to blank the screen. But with kms enabled, the monitor is instead switched off and the system freezes. So it´s not necessary to close the lid. You just have to wait 5 minutes doing nothing. But the LED of the sound-mute-button is still working then. (in contrast to a system freeze with lid closed) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
