           Summary: Changing brightness of backlight freezes kernel with

Xorg-log from a normal X startup.

Overview:

Changing the brightness of the backlight freezes the kernel, when radeon kms
(radeon.modeset=1) is enabled. Closing the LID for ca. 5 minutes does the same.

There are several ways to reproduce this:

1.

Step 1: Become root and enter the following:
echo 90 | dd of=/proc/acpi/video/*/LCD/brightness
The system should freeze.

2.

Step 1: If you have a laptop, you can close your LID and wait ca. 5 min. When
you open it, you shouldn´t get your screen on.

3.

Step 1: If you have KDE 4 with powerdevil installed, simply type: startx
I guess, the system freezes when powerdevil tries to get control about the
backlight.

Actual Results:

The system freezes.

Expected Results:

Changing the brightness should work. Switching on the monitor should work.

Build Date and Platform:

Build 2010-01-25 on Gentoo Linux 10.0

Additional Builds and Platforms:

Occurs also with Gentoo-kernel 2.6.32-gentoo-r2

Additional Information:

Hardware:

HP Compaq 6735b (FU308EA)
(Radeon HD 3200)

Userspace-drivers were compiled from Gentoo x11-overlay.

The symptoms of the freeze are very similar to those of a kernel panic:

- MAGIC_SYSRQ is not working.
- New USB-devices are not powered.
- Mouse freezes.
- In console the cursor is disappearing.

But:

- Num Lock and Caps Lock LED are not blinking
- Caps Lock LED does not glow.

I could not boot the 2.6.33-rc5-kernel, because amd-ucode was missing. I will
fix it and test this version later.

I´ll attach Xorg-log.
