I have an HP Compaq nx6325 laptop with integrated ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M]. Recently I've updated the driver from Git and started to notice that the laptop would freeze every time when waking up from suspend to RAM. It would also hang after some switches from console to X (I've been quickly pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+F7). When this happens the laptop would switch to X and the screen would remain black and the laptop was frozen. So I've started to bisect the Git commits and it looks like that the commit whith which this bug appears is: radeon: fix several dpms issues http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=7d9f643ae3d07e51e644a5979ca90bc2c102bc89 After going back one commit al is working fine again.

Same chipset, same problem, same behaviour. (read this as "I confirm and I can always reproduce")

This is Debian bug #529830. (http://bugs.debian.org/529830) There they've bisected it to commit 421085949e195596000e37ea6693489db7c075b5 which is exactly the same commit as the one you've bisected it to here.

Same graphic chipset on Asus X51RL. I did not do a bisect, but for me version 6.9.0 of xf86-video-ati still works, while 6.10.0 doesn't.
Laszlo Vitos, if you're seeing this between 6.9 and 6.10, then you have some other bug with the same symptoms. This bug showed up between 6.12.1 and 6.12.2.

This bug has gotten worse in verison 6.12.3. When I start the X server, the whole machine freezes, and I never even see the GDM greeter. Reverting 421085949e195596000e37ea6693489db7c075b5 still fixes this bug.
While trying to debug Bug 23666 (which seems to be a duplicate of this bug), I've also bisected to the same commit. I've found a very reliable way of reproducing this bug: If I unplug or plug my AC adapter and then (within a few seconds) switch from text to X, the machine freezes. Also, it seems that the first radeon driver version you load determines the behaviour. That is, during bisecting I've had a few occasions where I booted using a bad version, installed a good version, restarted X and then it would still freeze (and also the other way around). Perhaps that helps?
*** Bug 23666 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Since the bisected commit is still a bit of a big one, I've narrowed it down a bit more. While trying to understand the code, I think I found a bug in the commit (but unfortunately, fixing it didn't solve the problem of this report). I've created a fix for this small bug, which I put up here: http://git.stderr.nl/gitweb?p=matthijs/upstream/xf86-video-ati.git;a=commit;h=9222a02cf7 Anyway, back to the real bug. I've further narrowed the problem down to the change "- disable the crtcs in legacy crtc dpms". This branch shows my findings: http://git.stderr.nl/gitweb?p=matthijs/upstream/xf86-video-ati.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/200m-debug Two commits are significant here: Working: http://git.stderr.nl/gitweb?p=matthijs/upstream/xf86-video-ati.git;a=commit;h=e59c01d Broken: http://git.stderr.nl/gitweb?p=matthijs/upstream/xf86-video-ati.git;a=commit;h=3c4b0090 The first has most of the faulty commit applied, the second has the final part of the faulty commit applied as well. I've also included a some debug output in the working commit that shows the Legacy DPMS mode switches and register contents before the mode switch. I'm attaching two Xorg logfiles, one made with the working version (which shows startup and a switch to text mode and back to X) and one with the broken version (which shows startup and a switch to text mode, nothing is logged after that due to the freeze).
Created attachment 31702 [details] Xorg.log of a modeswitch with the broken code

Created attachment 32086 [details] [review] possible fix Does this patch fix things?
I was confused, and 3d59746808bc5f335104d27a8dce0fe94ab3cb78 didn't actually fix things for me. I'm going to test with your patch, and so as not to confuse things and not embarrass myself, I'm going to keep quiet for a couple days before concluding that it works.
No need to patch. I've pushed the patch to master and 6.12-branch.
Too late, I had just patched my 6.12-branch :-) Anyway, I just rebooted to test and the problem seems gone for me. I used to be able to reproduce this problem everytime I did a VT switch while plugging my power in or out, but no freezes happened when I did so now. I'll report back if it freezes on me again, but it seems this fix works for me.
I've been testing this for a couple days now, and haven't had any freezes, and X behaves properly. I've noticed that when I try to switch to a VT, the VT doesn't show up properly (I get a blank black screen), but when I switch back to X, X shows up properly. I'm using Xorg 1.6.5, Debian kernel 2.6.31-1-amd64 with a non-framebuffer console (/proc/fb is an empty file).
