Does this only happen when kwin is using OpenGL for effects? (In reply to comment #1) > Does this only happen when kwin is using OpenGL for effects? Yes. I've tried Xrender and I can confirm that this issue only presents with OpenGL for effects. (In reply to comment #1) > Does this only happen when kwin is using OpenGL for effects? It seems that it only happens with OpenGL. It doesn't happen with Xrender. Yet another strange problem happens while display is turned off. I set kshutdown before sleep to turn off laptop after 2 hours (dpms off is set to 10 min). In the morning, laptop is still working. I move mouse, display turns on and then immediately laptop shuts down (kshutdown shuts down laptop). So it seems that laptop is somehow frozen or in sleep while monitor is in dpms off state for some time. And this only seems to happen while kwin uses OpenGl. With Xrender I cannot reproduce this. Also with fglrx I cannot reproduce this problems no matter what compositing type kwin uses. Created attachment 61946 [details] [review] Don't wait on CRTC if it's disabled or we're VT switched away Does this patch help? To apply the patch, download the radeon driver (xf86-video-ati) and build deps and save a copy of the patch. 1. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati 2. cd xf86-video-ati 3. patch -p1 -i fdo49761.diff you many need to adjust the configure options below depending on your distro 4. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 5. make 6. make install Hi Michel. Your patch seem to brake compilation. When I apply your patch, make gives me this error: http://paste.kde.org/485402/ Without your patch, make works without errors. Alex Deucher suggested to add line #include "drmmode_display.h" to /src/radeon_video.c but it doesn't help. Ignore my previous 2 posts. I managed to fix compilation. I will test the patch in next few days and report back. After days of testing I can now confirm that the patch fixes all my problems I have mentioned in this bug report. Thank you very much Michel! commit 1d9f1eb7e65c57c52759ccbfa51e8bdd5a10acac Author: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@amd.com> Date: Wed Jun 6 12:16:08 2012 +0200 Don't wait on a CRTC which has been disabled via DPMS (bug #49761). This patch is included in xf86-video-ati 6.14.5 |
