Created attachment 41011 [details] Fade-to-white-picture No.1 On my new Sony Vaio laptop (VPCEC3L1E) the screen fades to white (with backlights on, i think) instead of simply blanking out. This can be reproduced by running "xset dpms force off" or by simply waiting until powermanagement kicks in. The graphics card used is a radeon 5xxx(?) (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68e0). This happens on console and in X. I'll attach some pictures showing the issue. Thanks for any help! PS: I hope i did choose the correct product/component for this type of bug.

Uuh, i forgot to mention some important things. Software used: kernel-2.6.37-rc5+ libdrm/mesa/xf86-video-ati from git (today).
Did this used to work previously? If so what kernel version?
Please attach a copy of your vbios rom following these instructions: (as root) (use lspci to get the bus id) cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id> echo 1 > rom cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom echo 0 > rom

I really hate to bump, but are there any news/updates about this issue? Should i post more infos/logs? Is there _anything_ i could do to make this work? _Anything_ i could test? Additinally a second problem showed up: After suspending the laptop the screen (sometimes) flickers a lot. This only goes away if you do a complete poweroff. Should i file a new bug report or could this also be related to the actual problem? Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem on eMachines E640G laptop with the same integrated graphics (PCI ID is the same). I remember having this problem ever since the Evergreen support started to work. Currently I'm using kernel 2.6.38-rc5+
