Subject: 945gma display blank after power failure regression
Date: Sat, 14 May 2011 14:47:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DCECE3F.1080307@earthlink.net> (raw)
Hello,
I have kernel 2.6.37 and an
Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 03)
in an asus s96f laptop. The battery is shot so it doesn't stay up for a
second on a power failure. I have
recently started experiencing a problem where if the display has been
blanked by KDE because of
being idle and I have a power failure then when the laptop boots up I
have a completely blank display.
I wait till I think it is up and do a blind login as my KDE session
starts up it turns on the display.
When is it booting I don't see anything - not the bios screen nothing.
This is very disconcerting.
The first time it happened I thought my lcd panel had died.
Any ideas on how to keep this from happening. I don't think this
happened on previous kernels.
Thank,
Steve
