"Fade Time". :) drop that to like 0 or 0.1 or something... :) > # i915_enable_rc6=1 seems buggy for GPU with chrome, and may not restore from > # black screen sleep > options i915 modeset=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 > > I'll see if removing i915_enable_rc6=1 is enough to fix it, if not, I'll > look at the fade settings. if it's wake up from suspend it may also be screen unplug/plug. we have a timeout to wait for screen plug/unplug events to settle before finally applying the config as they often come in little spurts with a bunch of removes, adds and so on so we wait until the burst is over (i think 5 sec) then apply. if you have a dock with external screens then the usb plug/unplugs could be causing monitor plug/unplug events too... so check your e stdout/err logs wherever they go. it might let you know. > Thanks, > Marc > -- > "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R. > > Home page: http://marc.merlins.org/ | PGP > 7F55D5F27AAF9D08 > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
