Hello,

I found a regression in Linux 2.6.37.2 - I know this report comes quite 
late, but I had no time to investigate until now. And I found that this 
still persists up to 2.6.39 :(

When I upgraded from 2.6.37 to 2.6.37.3, after reboot my machine came up 
with a blank/black screen (backlight on). It's an iMac G5 (Ambient Light 
Sensor) with a Radeon 9600 (RV350). After Xorg had started, the screen 
remained blank.

There were only a few Radeon specific changes between these two versions, so 
that I could quickly identify the cause. It's commit 
ce9eb2c297f918be46e36dd86b7e88cabdc3e22df 
(9fad321ac6bedd96f449754a1a25289ea1789a49 upstream). After reverting this 
with a simple patch, it works properly again:

--- linux-2.6.39/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_combios.c.orig

This is a diff from the dmesg [without my patch] -> [with my patch]:

On which kind of machines was the original commit tested/supposed to work? 
Do you see a possibility to fix this in a proper way upstream?

Thanks and regards,
Joachim Henke
