Posted: Sat Oct 23, 2010 10:07 pm Post subject: Suspend freezes when using ATI fglrx |
|
|
Hi all,
I have a HP Envy 14 i7 which comes with an ATI Radeon HD 5650 (evergreen) and no embedded intel card (btw is it true that the embeddded card is actually there but there is no multiplexer to switch?).My problem is that whenever I try to suspend, the laptop freezes without powering-off. This behaviour is identical if I execute the suspend procedure in multiple ways; through KDE, from console with pm-suspend or hibernate-ram, although I have never tried it through a tty. I believe that this is caused by a few kernel option(s), although I have tried all gentoo-sources from 2.6.34 and upwards (including .36) as well as zen-sources. It is important to mention that everything works perfectly with the open-source driver [EDIT: as fas as suspend is concerned, since evergreen GPUs are not yet sufficiently supported].
For reference I am using the following packages:
Code: |
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-10.9-r1
x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.7-r1
media-libs/mesa-7.8.2
kde-4.5.2
|
Below is the pm-suspend log, which shows that the freeze comes before the execution of any hooks:
Code: |

--quirk-dpms-on
--quirk-vbestate-restore
--quirk-vbemode-restore

The point of the freeze is basically the reason why I can't pin-point what is wrong. I have read that previous versions of the driver (8.xx) had trouble suspending when SLUB was used. This is not true anymore as I have tried the only alternative. The same applies to all similar workarounds for the same problem with other versions of the driver that I found.
I have searched extensively but haven't been able to find a recent post matching my system. I really hope that support for evergreen cards will come quickly to the open-source driver...
Any help is more than welcome. It is a huge annoyance for me not to be able to use suspend as I'm constantly on the move.

Since you already determined that the open source driver works correctly, could you explain why you are still using the closed driver that fails? |

Well, it was really bad phrasing on my part. What I meant was that suspend/resume works perfectly. I took for granted it's common knowledge that all evergreeen GPUs are not yet supported by the open-source driver(s). As a result it is impossible to play even a Xvid video in full screen. So, as I said in my conclusion, I really hope that support for evergreen processors is added to the open-source driver really soon! I hate being forced to use fglrx. But for now, I really need a working 2D environment with suspend/resume functionality... |

Unfortunately it lead to a freeze also.
On the bright side, the log is longer, which means that it was a step forward:
Code: |
Initial commandline parameters: --quirk-dpms-on
--quirk-s3-mode
--quirk-vbe-post
--quirk-vga-mode3

Comparing the two logs, first of all, there are different quirks being used. So it is either the introduction of quirk-s3-mode or the removal of quirk-vbestate-restore or quirk-vbemode-restore that caused this. I'll try them one by one to find out exactly which. If only I could avoid the actual freeze; is there any way to make test/simulation/emulation runs? Hard-rebooting all the time must be a killer to the machine.
Meanwhile, do you care to elaborate on your selection? |

I seem to recall reading somewhere about modules requiring unload prior to suspend. It's been a while since I used ATI so I have not really paid attention to suspend problems with ATI.
I recently experienced similar problems with my new HP laptop with USB3 (xhci) failing to suspend unless it was a module (I had it compiled in).
Once I compiled xhci as a module and told the hibernate script to unload it prior to suspend, things worked.
I found the error in the /var/log/messages file, where the kernel complained that the USB3 failed to freeze.
Code: | Jan 2 19:27:39 pearcely2 kernel: [ 1075.078849] Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
Jan 2 19:27:39 pearcely2 kernel: [ 1075.091565] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
Jan 2 19:27:40 pearcely2 kernel: [ 1075.091647] pm_op(): usb_dev_freeze+0x0/0x10 returns -2
Jan 2 19:27:40 pearcely2 kernel: [ 1075.091652] PM: Device usb3 failed to freeze async: error -2
|
This resulted in the hibernation simply re-starting, leaving me at my starting point.
See my forum post for more details, including configuration file contents, etc.
Hope this gives a little help. _________________ ...Lyall |

I know this is an old post, but just figured I'd share my solution. For me, suspend would kind of work once, but lock up during shutdown, or more precisely, when switching to a text console. Using pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post fails to work around this, but adding this quirk in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/98video-quirk-db-handler fixed it for me.
Code: | elif using_fglrx; then
# fglrx may or may not have to change vts, reports one
# way or the other welcome.
remove_parameters $possible_video_quirks
add_parameters --quirk-vbe-post |
