Solution found for bug 29384!
I noticed that everything looks like the kernel uses the new
power-managment-stuff also for the Evergreen graphics cards. And this leads to
the solution, the power_method "profile" doesn't work correct, the all problems
with slow switching while using /dev/fb* with fbi or mplayer are solved with
switching the power_method to "dynpm".
$ echo "dynpm" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
check with
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method" //should report dynpm
Now everything works.
I can load a png-image with fbi on tty1, check dmesg output on tty2, while I am
watching a ioQuake3-Demo (of course without hardware-accleration) on X11. If
necessary I can use "pm-supend" and wakeup the system again, everything still
works.
@Alex Deucher:
Could it be a final solution
a) generally set "dynpm" for all Evergreen chips
or
b) switching of power-managment for Evergreen till is really supported in the
kernel
Now the bad news:
Using dynpm doesn't fix bug 27744
