Title:
Lenovo Thinkpad x100e freezes when X blanks screen
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
[Moved from #535653. I have no problem with X starting up, but only
when X blanks screen]
Machine is a Lenovo Thinkpad X100e model NTS5EUK:
AMD Turion(tm) Neo X2 Dual Core Processor L625 stepping 02
+ 2GB RAM, internal WLAN (realtek) and WWAN (Gobi 2000) cards. BIOS version
reported is 1.21. Originally I had turned on the AMD virtualisation extensions
in the BIOS, but I've now switched this back, so BIOS is at defaults including
Config > CPU > AMD V(TM) Technology = Disabled
Security > Memory Protection > Exection Protection = Enabled
In #535653 I reported this problem with amd64, but I've now installed
i386 from scratch with exactly the same behaviour.
The laptop is connected to an Ethernet LAN and a USB CD-ROM. I have
not configured wireless at all.
I can reproduce the problem as follows.
* Install Lucid 10.4 desktop i386 from CD
* apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get install openssh-server
* echo "options radeon modeset=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
* cat >/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "1"
EndSection
* reboot, let it come up to the gdm screen, then don't touch it
From another machine on the same LAN, copy a large file using scp, e.g.
scp ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso brian@x.x.x.x:/var/tmp/
You can also periodically check the network health from another window:
while date && ssh brian@x.x.x.x hostname; do sleep 9; done
What happens is: after 1 minute the X screen blanks. At this very
instant, the laptop network connection freezes: the scp session
stalls, and the laptop won't respond to ping. Moving the trackpoint,
the screen comes back to life, but then the laptop is in a very
fragile state and soon crashes. For example, pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1
usually freezes it instantly. Selecting "reboot" from the power menu
will start the reboot process, but leave it frozen on a blank purple
screen (possibly at the point of changing video mode again?). At this
point the machine has to be hard powered off by pressing and holding
the power button.
Extra data points:
* Login, open a terminal and type "xset s noblank" then repeat the test: the
machine does NOT freeze. (I get a big "X" and a chequerboard pattern instead of
the screen being fully blanked).
I think this all suggests that the X blanking is the culprit, although
it's not clear why the machine should stop talking to ethernet
instantly but continue along in a crippled state otherwise.
(Interrupts?)
I did previous testing with amd64, recorded under #535653, but I have not
repeated these tests with i386 yet. I found that:
* leaving the screen in text mode (via ctrl-alt-F1) does not crash, even if
the text mode screen blanks
* installing fglrx driver didn't make a difference
Also, I was able to reproduce the problem on the train this morning on
battery. All of the rest of my tests have been with mains connected.
There are two warning messages which flash up while the machine boots,
I think they are these two lines from dmesg:
[ 11.310661] shpchp 0000:00:01.0: Cannot reserve MMIO region
[ 11.764446] thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported ThinkPad detected!
