Subject: Regression in 2.6.37-rc1 for Intel 915 Graphics Adapter - bisected to commit e9e331a
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 19:47:09 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CDB4B1D.7000503@lwfinger.net> (raw)
On my HP Mini 110 netbook with an Intel 945GME graphics adapter and kernel
2.6.37-rc1, screen blanking has a problem. On this machine, the screen is
blanked in two stages. The first leaves the backlight on, the second turns the
backlight off.
The details of the graphics adapter are as follows:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME
Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27ae] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:308f]
Kernel driver in use: i915
00:02.1 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME,
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a6] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:308f]
Beginning with commit e9e331a8abeece1565d383510ed985945132ffe3 as determined
with bisection, the system no longer reawakens from the second stage with mouse
movements or key presses. The only way to bring it back that I have found is to
close the cover. After reopening the cover and entering the password to unlock
the system, the screen is restored.

drm/i915/lvds: Ensure panel is unlocked for Ironlake or the panel fitter
Commit 77d07fd9d73ef28689737c0952dbd5d6a5017743 introduced a regression
where by not waiting for the panel to be turned off, left the panel and
PLL registers locked across the modeset. Thus the panel remaining blank.
As pointed out by Daniel Vetter, when testing LVDS it helps to open the
laptop and look at the actual panel you are purporting to test.
A second issue with the patch was that in order to modify the panel
fitter before gen5, the pipe and the panel must have be completely
powered down. So we wait.
