Bug#421476: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Hotkey switching to external VGA not possible, switching with i810switch/xrandr freezes system

2007-06-23 Thread Brice Goglin
Hi,

Could you try the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel package (2:2.0.0-5
currently in experimental) and report back whether it fixes your problem?

Note that xrandr is meant to switch displays on/off so it might be
expected that hotkeys do not work anymore :) I don't know about
i810switch, I would rather not use it since it might have been designed
for old i810 driver and I don't know how it interacts with xrandr.

Brice

Bug#421476: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Hotkey switching to external VGA not possible, switching with i810switch/xrandr freezes system

2007-04-29 Thread Soenke
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.0.0-1
Severity: important

Hello everyone!

I have the following problem when upgrading from 
xserver-xorg-video-i810 2:1.7.2-4 
to the new 
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-1
on my IBM Thinkpad X40:

Switching output via the hotkey (Fn+F7) does not work at all anymore. The
external display is always active when connected.
Output switching works with i810switch or xrandr, though. It even works better
than with the old driver, the image on the external VGA is much clearer.
But when I try to switch outputs like this:

ext. VGA on - ext. VGA off - ext VGA on - LVDS off - LVDS on

the whole system freezes. Both displays are blank, no console switching or
even ssh login are possible. Alt+Sysrq does not work either. The only option
is to turn the system off and back on. I did not find any error messages in
syslog or Xorg.0.log.

In addition to the kernel version mentioned below, I am using tp_smapi driver
0.31 and the Conexant hsf modem drivers. I tried unloading all these, but to
no effect on the problem described.
Adapting my xorg.conf to the new driver did not help either. Both configs (for
i810 and intel) are attached.
Please tell me if more information is needed.

Best regards,

soenke

the log file would be the obvious missing piece (it should have been
included in the report by reportbug, did you remove it manually?).

Thanks,
Julien
