Description Bruno Cornec 2011-12-18 15:22:29 CET
Description of problem:

I have multiple new problems linked to Mageia 1 since my upgrade on this system, which were not occuring with Mandriva 2010.1.

1. The default configuration uses the fglrx driver (previously was intel) which is not working correctly in multi-screen mode (unable to use 2 different screens configurations, only mode working is clone). Trying the KDE config tool doesn't help, nor does using the aticonfig tool.

2. With the intel driver, Trying to suspend either with the menu or the pm-suspend command brings back the main screen as black. No way to activate it again. If I used the menu, then the lockscreen was activated and the other screen working is blocked when coming back on displaying a lockscreen image. Passing in console mode with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and killing the screen lock brings back that second screen (but still not the first).

3. For information, just using the kernel kernel-desktop-2.6.33.7-2mnb-1-1mnb2 as a boot option from the former Mandriva 2010.1 allows to have multi-screen working correctly, and suspend as well.

Here is the xorg.conf which is working (From MDV 2010.1):

When doing a diff on these 2 dmesg results, it seems to me that tese lines could provide explanations of the difference of behaviour:

$ diff -u /tmp/dmesg.mdv /tmp/dmesg.mga
[...]
+radeon 0000:01:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x100000, writing 0x100407)
[...]
+radeon 0000:01:00.0: WB enabled
[...]
+video LNXVIDEO:00: Restoring backlight state
+video LNXVIDEO:01: Restoring backlight state

So for the moment I have to stay with the previous kernel to have a working environment.

Can you please:

add radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel command line, it will boot without kms

Then when system is booted, remove the "radeon.modeset=0", install radeon-firmware from nonfree and do a:

bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds

and it will recreate the initrd with the needed firmwares added 

If that solves the problem (please report back) then this is a duplicate of bug 1471
