--- Comment #9 from Bryce Harrington <[email protected]> 2011-04-07 18:52:59 PDT --- Response from the original reporter: Bryce Harrington wrote in #25 "Upstream would like to see if setting the video to the radeon/descrete setting in the BIOS configuration makes it function properly." Answer: Yes it does. I tried that a while ago already, but can't (don't want to) use that for regular running, because the radeon-card makes the laptop-battery ruin out too fast. I read also that there's a patched/hacked BIOS somewhere that allows to switch off the radeon-card via BIOS, but if it can be solved with software I'd prefer that ;) Chris Halse Rogers wrote in #22: "This does look a lot like some bad interaction between i915/radeon" I agree - I did some more testing and placed an entry for the radeon-module into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and voilá - no crash! (after booting into X I can't get back to the text-console, but that's possibly another issue). What proves the "bad interaction" even more is: when also placing "i915" into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules BEFORE "radeon", booting isn't possible at all any more, but when placing i915 AFTER radeon, booting is possible, but I got a black screen (as in totally black, that is: no backlight) until X starts up. I'll try to get logs of four different initrd-configurations (though I doubt I'll be able to record the one where the crash occurs already during running of initrd...) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
