Public bug reported:
on the HP pavillion zv6000, standby and hibernate causes X to show nothing but
a blank screen on reawakening
If i remember correctly this used to happen occasionally before, but has since
started happening a lot, i think since I upgraded to edgy... :p
(to be fair It sometimes doesn't fail, but that is now the exception the
rule)
anyway... there are several video problems with this ATI mobility Radeon
for example the already reported problem with switching VT's.
this one, happens with either the main driver, included with ubuntu, or
ATI's 'fglrx' driver included in the restricted repository.
also I have been able to find that 'fglrx' complains of attempting to
free a NULL pointer when going into standby.
Details:
device manager says the info.product is -
ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)
When it goes blank as it does, the enter password box still exists, but
once i enter my password, it's still blanked. The Xserver can still be
restarted by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace, and programs still run (I can
tell since music continues to run from rhthymbox) and another strange
thing, the popups from the system tray which show, current playing
track, warn about battery running out etc still show...
Any ideas?
