Xorg.0.log (vesa)

System freezes after few seconds using open source driver (on catalyst there is no problem). This problem on laptop with Radeon 6480g/7470m.
$ uname -a
Linux maxis11-Aspire-5560 3.13.0-2-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 10 12:14:30 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There is no log Xorg.0.log using radeon driver. Only if use vesa. Can't run in radeon driver glxinfo and glxgears, becouse keyboard is not responding. Distro: Xubuntu 14.04. Drivers from distro and oibaf ppa cause same result.

Please attach your dmesg output with the radeon kernel driver loaded.

Comment 4 Alex Deucher 2014-01-13 15:04:59 UTC
Is this a regression?  Did the driver work properly with an older kernel, etc?  Does booting with radeon.runpm=0 on the kernel command line in grub help?

Booting with radeon.runpm=0 helps, but what radeon.runpm do?

It disables dynamic powering up/down of the dGPU in your system.  Make sure your kernel has this patch:

It seems that zen-kernel have this patch https://github.com/damentz/zen-kernel/commit/1ac9b214d81c92fc119c6ffabc21464345eb21e2 I will send the results after launching with new kernel
