Description Hieu Hoang 2009-09-06 19:24:02 UTC
On an HP dv6-1280us laptop with Radeon HD 4650, radeonhd git from 20090905

When switching to VT:

* With radeon driver, the screen turn off then on as VT

* With radeonhd driver, the screen doesn't turn off, it stay lit but black
  Pressing Alt-F7 brings X back to the front

I will attach Xorg.0.log with logverbose 7 later. Here is my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
 Identifier "M96"
 Driver "radeonhd"
 Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
 Option "DRI" "on"
EndSection

I have tried removing Option "AccelMethod" "exa" but the issue persist.

Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-10-16 15:59:20 UTC
Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)?  If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component.  

Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver.  Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.
Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-11-07 15:26:41 UTC
Closing due to lack of response.  Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon 
component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
