xorg.conf
I found now a work around for this problem. If I compile the linux kernel with a frame buffer console then the problem does not appear. I still think that this is a fault. this configuration has been decided as wontfix. See details in bug#22040. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 22040 *** If you do not plan to fix this fault then you should document this requirement in the installation instruction. There is not a single word saying that intel requires a frame buffer console. It is also quite unexpected because most other drivers do not have such a behavior. Actually, newer kernels will automatically select framebuffer console for you, so this could me marked fixed. |

Created attachment 27747 [details] Xorg.0.log This problem is independent of the system CPU load and 100% reproducible on my Thinkpad X301 (Intel X4500 graphics hardware). The server exists clean and there is no crash or apparent failure in the Xorg.0.log. There is no more X server running and all X applications have terminated. I have checked this with ps -auxw They all exit quickly and normally. The cpu load is near to zero. However the server (or probably the xf86-video-intel driver) fails to restore the console. I can still remotely log into the machine and shut it down clean but the console is not usable. The screen is just black and the backlight is still on. I am myself a bit puzzled by this problem and I am happy to provide any additional printouts. The system is gentoo with: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv =x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv =x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv =x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0 Attached is an Xorg.0.log take after the X server has already terminated and the console is in this un-usable state. I will also attached my xorg.conf file. Related to this problem might also be that I can not use crtl-alt-backspace to switch to the console while X is running. It results in a frozen screen where the image is still there but the pixels seem not so smooth.
