Description matej.tyc 2009-05-27 07:16:31 UTC
Hello, I have a similar problem that is described here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17805
From time to time, the display goes black for a short while. It is not predictable and occurs roughly once per 5 minutes.
I have Asus p5q-vm with G45 chipset with a monitor connected via DVI.
KMS not OK with the 2.6.29.4 kernel and xf86-video-intel 2.7.1
It was quite OK regarding this issue with the 2.6.29.3 kernel though.
Disabling KMS makes things working again.
How can I help to solve this problem?
Regards,
Matej

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html asks you to provide Xorg.0.log and dmesg output.
Comment 2 matej.tyc 2009-06-01 02:10:00 UTC
Sorry for the incomplete bugreport. Here are the required specs:
Software versions:
libdrm 2.4.11, xorg-server 1.6.1.901, xf86-video-intel 2.7.1, kernel 2.6.29.4. Distribution: Up-to-date Archlinux
The rest is in the first post.

I think that the bug 20644 is absolutelly unrelated to this issue. Might it be some sort of a typo?

set FIFO watermarks at DPMS & mode set time

Here's a KMS patch to set the FIFO regs.  Might help with screen blanking, please give it a try.
Comment 7 matej.tyc 2009-06-24 05:25:50 UTC
I have updated to the 2.6.30 kernel that made it into my distro today nad this issue seems to be resolved since the upgrade. 
So I even haven't tried your patch...
Regards,
Matej
