Re: Lenovo T520i X11 Intel i810 "static display" issue
Keith: not sure if you're still seeing this issue, but it's been
resolved for me with a recent testing/sid update. I'll have to check
my laptop to see just which 3.0 kernel and xorgs packages I'm using,
but all my video freeze/static issues (playback of video reduced view,
full-screen view, toggling between X11 and console,
suspend/hibernate/restore, and logging off/on to X11 sessions), are
resolved.

I used to compile my own kernels for my older ThinkPads, but on the T520 the packaged 3.0 works so great, that I didn´t feel like compiling my own one, although it should compile pretty fast on that T520 with Intel SSD 320. A good starting point for an own kernel is the config from the debian one and the package kernel-package. But that for sure it out of the scope of debian-laptop. Maybe sometime I subscribe to debian-user, but for now I am just on debian-user-german. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Lenovo T520i X11 Intel i810 "static display" issue- SOLVED
I wanted to get back to you and tell you that I was finally able to install a 3.0 kernel (Wheezy- not Sid) and you are correct- now my Thinkpad T520 will resume from sleep properly. Thanks so much! For some background for others: I had been using Squeeze (kernel 2.6.32-5) and my T520 would not resume from sleep properly. Looking around on the web I saw that a number of other people were having this problem. I first tried to compile my own 3.0 kernel within Squeeze- but alas, choosing the proper kernel compile options for this beginner proved to be too difficult. I then tried upgrading to Wheezy through apt-get install full-upgrade using Wheezy sources in my /etc/apt/sources.list file. Although this did upgrade all the packages, it did not upgrade the kernel, and the resume from sleep problem persisted. I finally decided to start from scratch and do a fresh install of Wheezy from a netinstall cd (weekly build). This proved difficult because the installer kept failing to install Grub, and as a beginner installing Grub manually proved beyond my skill. Finally, with help from the debian-user forum ([email protected]) I was able to install Wheezy. Now my T520 does resume from sleep properly. thanks again, Keith Ostertag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You could do something like this: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib and then in /etc/apt/preferences to avoid updating everything to Sid: Explanation: lower priority than stable (500), 26.8.2011 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 400 BTW when you used 2.6.32 before, are you using Squeeze completely? Then I suggest upgrading to Wheezy. Squeeze is not recent enough for Sandybridge. So some of your problems might just be related to using Squeeze. I just run everything at Sid at the moment and it works marvellous. A bit more conservative approach would be using Wheezy which should be recent enough by now.

Re: Lenovo T520i X11 Intel i810 "static display" issue
Hi Martin- Thanks once again, I really appreciate your help. I downloaded the linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 deb file from Debian Sid as you suggested, but when I tried to install it I got this error message from the package instaler: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-base (<=3~)" Hmm... I thought at first that referred to the fact that I had booted into my 3.1.0-rc1 kernel, but I also tried it after booting into my old 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel and still I get the same error message. Can you explain how to work around this? When I search inside Synaptic for linux-base I only see the one that's installed- 2.6.32-35, even though I am running the 3.1.0-rc1 kernel... so I am confused.

Re: Lenovo T520i X11 Intel i810 "static display" issue
Hi Martin- Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me _how_ to "try exactly 3.0.0 from the debian package"? If I donwload the source for 3.0.3 (the most recent stable kernel on kernel.org) I will then need to build a .config file- and obviously my attempts so far have been wrong. I'm new to Linux, and guessing at the thousands of configuration lines in make menuconfig isn't working for me... The most recent debian distribution only uses 2.6.39 (or so), so I am not sure how you mean to try 3.0.0 from "the debian package". Can you explain further? Is there some way to get a 3.0.0 kernel with "default" or generic .config file that will work with debian on my T520? Thanks, Keith Ostertag > Am Dienstag, 16.

I see that Martin Steigerwald claims that upgrading to 3.0 solves the
problem, but it hasn't solved the problem for me- I am running 3.1.0-rc1
with all upgraded packages on my Thinkpad T520 and the problem persists.

Any chance that the video codec and GLX issues I'm having are also related? I can play Flash videos but not full-screen. Attempting to use any video codec I've tried so far in mplayer/xine hangs the video session entirely. -- Dr. Ed Morbius, Chief Scientist /| Robot Wrangler / Staff Psychologist| When you seek unlimited power Krell Power Systems Unlimited| Go to Krell! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It appears to be a bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel that occurs
under kernels 2.6.38 and 2.6.39. The latter seems to help some --
in my case anyway -- but the problem is still there. See bug
622308 (which has been closed); bugs 626337 and 627249 are similar.
(I'm running an Asus laptop with an Intel 965GM chipset.)
