Debian bugs: 588601, 588602: xpress 200m 5955 => resume from suspend fails with KMS enabled

[Andres Cimmarusti]

Fantastic!, it works!

I forced it by just writing (like your quirk):

    /* quirk for rs4xx HP laptops to make them resume
    * - they hang on resume inside the dynclk 1 table.
    */
    return;

Just before the /* DYN CLK 1 */ line in the radeon_combios.c file.

So, can you modify your patch to encompass my chipset? actually I know of several xpress 200 different chipset that have this issue, see for example: 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/305301?comments=all
or
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/577340

I will contact this bug reporters and will try to get them to try by modifying the kernel source.

I recently opened up a bug report upstream, to which you replied with the same solution. Perhaps that provides the ideal framework for a slight change in your patch?

Thanks a lot!

Andres

I added this qurik upstream, it may need to be extended to other rs4xx, its worth a try.

I dedicated a large portion of the day to finding a clue to this one. Following this advice: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.34.1/Documentation/power/s2ram.txt

I was able to extract a trace from the failed resume process:
Magic number: 0:981:799hash matches drivers/base/power/main.c:523pci 0000:01:05.0: hash matches
ec PNP0C09:00: hash matches

The first hash match is none other than my ATI Radeon card as I easily verified with lspci:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)


However, the above link says that the likely
culprit in the failed resume process is the last hash match. This
corresponds to the EC driver: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/ec.c

My card was, till recently, listed under embedded
graphics at the AMD/ATI website. So there appears to be some conflict
when using KMS between radeon and ec that causes the kernel to hang
(that explains why I can't ssh into my computer to get a trace). For
this reason I've cloned the original bug and reported the copy as a
kernel bug.
I will try to delve deeper into the matter by activating more verbose debugging symbols for acpi.
I would appreciate some advice and guidance, since I'm flying half-blind (I will try to follow the information present here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=505890)


Cheers,
Andres
