Subject: [2.6.22] ACPI video problems with T60p laptop
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:34:54 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <974101.13462.qm@web52908.mail.re2.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have noticed the following problems with the ACPI video functionality on my Thinkpad T60p
laptop:

- The kernel is likely to lock up when the video.ko modules loads, if nmi_watchdog=1
- The VID/ directory appears twice in the /proc/acpi/video/ directory:

$ ls -alis /proc/acpi/video/
total 0
4026532147 0 dr-xr-xr-x  4 root root 0 2007-07-24 22:17 .
4026531915 0 dr-xr-xr-x 12 root root 0 2007-07-24 19:27 ..
4026532169 0 dr-xr-xr-x  5 root root 0 2007-07-24 22:17 VID
4026532169 0 dr-xr-xr-x  5 root root 0 2007-07-24 22:17 VID

- Close the laptop lid, wait a bit, open the lid again, and the X server has crashed. (The kernel
survives, but the screen is a multi-coloured mess. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace still works, though.)
