Description Taras Glek 2006-10-07 15:25:12 UTC

I run X at 1024x768. if I close the lid and open it again, X changes to 
640x480 so I can't see most of my desktop anymore.
To restore to correct resolution, I switch to/from another virtual console.

Another workaround is to use vga=791 as a kernel boot parameter.

Known issue. We need to react to ACPI events to fix it. I'll see what I can do.

Comment 4 Luka Renko 2007-01-13 03:27:35 UTC

Is this bug supposed to be driver specific?
I have similar issue on Ubuntu with "ati" driver on HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL 
V5000 PCIE card. The only difference is that background is unreadable.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Comment 6 Luka Renko 2007-09-18 22:59:01 UTC

Is it appropriate that this is assigned to Driver/Trident, as I see it also on Driver/Radeon?

This is still the case on Ubuntu Gutsy, using latest test packages for xrandr 1.2 branch: 6.7.192-1ubuntu2

Comment 7 Luka Renko 2007-09-20 08:53:26 UTC

Just tried latest version of ATI driver (6.7.193-1ubuntu1) on HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL V5000 PCIE - it does not solve the problem for me (even though the corruption is slightly different - before it was more horizontal, now it is across most of the screen).

Comment 8 Luka Renko 2007-10-09 06:15:06 UTC

This is fixed for me on HP nw8240 with latest ATI driver in Kubuntu Gutsy (6.7.195-1ubuntu2).

Comment 9 Kim Højgaard-Hansen 2008-03-01 14:25:36 UTC

I'm experiencing something similar on an Toshiba R100 with Ubuntu 7.10... power management sends some kind of "Dim screen" signal, that triggers a resolution change. This can be reset by switching virtual console. It is easily triggered by taking out the power-plug.

Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not
obviously still valid. Please reopen this bug or file a new report if you continue to experience issues with current releases.
