dmesg
When I enable dpm with my 6950 I see major screen corruption. It works fine
with dpm disabled.
The computer does not get completely locked up. The screen flickers but there
is always a pattern in the corruption that stays the same. Sometimes, not
always, I can see and control a corrupted mouse cursor. But the screen is so
corrupted that i can't login or do anything. I can ssh into the computer but it
won't reboot.
I first tried 3.11-rc1 but then did my tests on
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/?h=drm-fixes-3.11 with latest commit
being a01c34f72e7cd2624570818f579b5ab464f93de2
I have ucode (downloaded 2013-06-15) from
http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/
I compiled the kernel with this.
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/CAYMAN_mc.bin radeon/CAYMAN_me.bin
radeon/CAYMAN_pfp.bin radeon/CAYMAN_rlc.bin radeon/CAYMAN_smc.bin
radeon/SUMO_uvd.bin"
I did a bisect and found that this commit introduced the corruption:
