3.3.5 regression: resume doesn't switch to X

3.3.5 regression: resume doesn't switch to X

[Jiri Slaby]

Hi,

since update to 3.3.5, my X doesn't show up after resume from
hibernation anymore. The only thing I see is "resuming..." on the
console. I can switch to any tty and login in text mode, but cannot
switch to X despite it is running. I have to restart whole session to
have X again.

Now I'm back to 3.3.4 and everything is OK.

Using radeon driver on:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
nee ATI RV515 [Radeon Mobility X1450] [1002:7186]

regards,

Reading LKML offline (original post from [1]):

The only drm-radeon-kms patch between v3.3.4 and v3.3.5 was [2] (see
also series file in [3]):

Care to run 'git bisect' to find the offending patch?

thanks,

Ah, fixed. Why it didn't bounce? Is it silently dropped?

Hmm, I cannot reproduce. I booted 3.3.5 twice and X did not show up
after resume. Then I booted 3.3.4 and it worked. Now 3.3.5 works too...
So maybe this is uptime related or I hit some race twice in a row?

Anyway now I'm running 3.3.5 and the problem have not recurred yet...

thanks,

vger.kernel.org kills it because it looks like SPAM or a looping
posting since it has Delivered-To: header fields in it when the
copy comes from stable@kernel.org

The kernel.org folks needs to really just take that email alias
down and turn it off, nothing from it makes the list for almost
a year now.  It's completely pointless.
