Hi, I have a Compaq n610c notebook, which comes with the ATI Radeon 7500 graphics adapter. I'm running XF 4.3.0 (debian packages). While generally the display works ok, the LCD chokes (displays out of sync flickering patterns) whenever I close the lid (suspend the display), and sometimes even when I switch from X to console, or vice-versa. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 with the latest ACPI patches, and the newest BIOS update from compaq (F15A). The problem persists even when I disable ACPI (boot: acpi=off).
I have seen many users reporting this problem, or very similar ones, but I wasn't able to find a satisfactory explanation, as to what is going on. Has the reason for this been found? What is causing it (buggy X video driver, BIOS, ACPI, flaky hardware, alpha particles)? And more importantly, are there any solutions (existing or under development)? Thanks in advance /npat -- Hey, maybe I could apply for a saint-hood from the Pope. Does somebody know what his email-address is?
