[i855gm] Lid close with intel 82852/855GM provokes black screen, loss of control and overheat

This does not occur when putting the laptop in suspend mode via the session menu, but this may occur when power-manager turns off the screen.

Lid close or standby with nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
--> loss of control

Is there any news, or anything I can do to provide more information ?

Well as far as I can see, maybe re-enabling the i810 driver would solve the problem, or making an alternate set of xserver-xorg-video-intel driver that would be the same as the one of jeunty would do te trick...

Anyow, I do not see any option the is able to solve that problem with the current intel driver...

Also posted upstream :

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24970

confirmed on dell latitude d400, fresh 9.10 install, using intel driver with xorg.

follow up: worked around bug by adding "nomodeset" kernel paramter, a la bug 385445

If I set nomodeset, I am unable to start X, I got a fully blinking screen on a console login, with the keyboard only working synchronously with the blink.

However, I can start X if running recovery mode.

Well it indeed seems to be a duplicate of 385445...

Kludge, could you please post your xorg.conf, I'd like to understand why I am unable to launch X if I set nomodeset.

Thank you

Ah, if this bug is really linked to KMS, is it a driver or a kernel bug ?

reconstructing xorg.conf from memory (on another machine not booted and i gotta run out the house):

Section "Device"

Identifier "Builtin Default intel device 0"
# I stole the identifier from Xorg.0.conf run with no xorg.conf
Driver "intel"
Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "True"

EndSection

...and that's it; everything else is autodetected. for thoroughness sake, i ought to test without it, but i haven't yet.

also, it's a driver bug. drivers are part of the kernel, but also their own separate projects.

Strange, I am still unable to launch X without modeset...

And by running a X -configure, the option ForceEnalePipeA seems to not be listed by X as options supported by the intel driver...

The nomodeset parameter worked on my D400.

I don't have a xorg.conf, just running with Ubuntu default, no special options.

Ok, the workaround works, I had troubles because I tried the ppa xorg-edgers dirvers to see if they fix the thing...

So with the Ubuntu's official repositories, and disabling the modesetting with the kernel parameter options (I am not sure wether the ForceEnablePipeA option is required) seems very effective.

However this bug is still problematic because :

    * It makes KMS unusable
    * The newer releases of xorg intel driver seem to require KMS, so if this is not fixed upstream there will be a problem with no workaround for future Ubuntu releases...

On other weird side effects, after disabling KMS, when I et into gnome, my pointer is invisible, but if I switch to tty1 and back to tty7, then it is visible...

My laptop also tends to randomly freeze (but is still accessible y ssh) and with no process wonsumming cpu...

I can confirm having the exact problem with Dell Latitude D400 and a fresh install of Karmic.

Well te freeze while kms being deactiated has nothing to do with this (it's a problem with my wifi card)

But I can confirm that disabling modesetting makes the mouse pointer invisble in gnome without switching to a TTY and back to gnome...

I have the same issues, also with dell d400.
I upgraded from Jaunty, where this was not an issue at all, to Karmic, where this is a most frustrating issue.

Hi everybody !

I am experiencing the same problem. I'm under Karmic, a fresh install, a 82852/855GM graphic card (but on a Dell 510m). The "nomodeset" workaround didn't work for me. But maybe I've missed something as in grub-pc, there is no /boot/grub/menu.lst and you have to set options in /etc/default/grub. I tried to set nomodeset on this line :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

Closing the lid still freeze the system. No escape !! hard and dirty reboot is still the only way.

Did anyone have any clue ?

Thanks !

Stan

...add me to the list for this bug, as well. Dell Latitude D400 with built-in i855 graphics. Running Linux Mint 8 (Helena), which is essentially Ubuntu 9.10 / Karmic with a few bells & whistles tacked on.

I will try the kernel boot parameter when I get home tonight, and report back here if it doesn't seem to temporarily resolve the issue for me. I previously had Linux Mint 7 (Gloria) on this laptop, which is essentially Ubuntu 9.04 / Jaunty ...so, my issues are identical to those related in these comments... suspend/resume works fine under Jaunty (or Mint 7) and doesn't work under Karmic (or Mint 8).

This is not a problem of the intel-driver. It's a kernel-bug! Just boot the system with activated KMS and no Xserver running. Close the lid and ... crash.

Yeah sounds like it needs the lid-close quirk

If anyone gets a chance to test this with lucid, you should add the tag 'lucid-kms' so it gets on the kernel team's radar. It's not likely to get on their list if it is only tested against karmic.

Be aware though that kms got blacklisted for i855 but quite a few people have reported this isn't working for them, so you will need to force kms on by passing the kernel option i915.radeon=1 from grub.

I have tested Lucid 10.04 on a Dell Lattitude D505 with Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Graphics. This bug seems to pop up SOMETIMES...

I can boot alright with following kernels using /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf "options i915 modeset=1":
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-15-generic
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34rc3-51-generic (from https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/experimental )

One of the kernels did not boot correctly without the modeset option.

I have also updated to the intel driver:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu lucid main

which seems to run a bit smoother. But this bug still persist in all configurations. Please tell me if I can give you any hints / logs to help fix this problem.

With the latest updates and kernel: 2.6.32-22-generic the problem seems to be fixed, although it persist with 2.6.34rc3-51-generic

I am quite unsure regarding what the solution may be, because I have been messing quite a bit around with my settings (xorg.conf) now using intel driver, UXA grafics accelleration according to http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html

Right now I am not going to change a working system. :-)

well I retried to install ubuntu 10.04.1 (hoping the intel issues were solve - my mistake) and updated the following:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/855gm-fix
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dkms 855gm-fix-dkms

as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes

the problem persist and I am back in Ubuntu 8.04...

oh, yeah, tried the ForceEnablePipeA-quirck (see bug #138256) but that also did not resolve the problem

I tried to revert the ppa-changes, but failed and I am now not able to get ubuntu 10.04.1 running at all...
