I have been on 2.6.38 for 4 days without a single blackout. This could 
still be a coincidence (it happened before), but that would be quite a 
big one. So unless you need other info, I propose that this bug be 
closed for now, if the blackouts come back I can still reopen it.


For information, right now I have kernel 2.6.38 from experimental, mesa 
7.10-4 with R600g, libdrm 2.4.23-3, and xorg radeon driver 1:6.14.0-1.

Hi Rémi,

Rémi Letot  (26/10/2010):

I have tried that option on 2.6.36 and 2.6.32 from sid, and I
haven't had a single blackout for more than one week. It could still
be a coincidence since the problem is completely random, but that
would be a huge one...
[…]
I'll try to build that and use it at my next reboot.


what's the status with 2.6.37-1-$arch available in sid (possibly with
an up-to-date X stack in sid)?


Hi,

I'm tracking sid for most of the system, and experimental when available 
for the X stack.


Since I reported the bug, the only combination that was potentially free 
from blackouts was with kernel 2.6.37-rc7. I say potentially because I'm 
not 100% sure, but I can't remember having had a blackout with that 
kernel. But I don't have that package anymore, so I can't verify that.


I rebooted this morning to 2.6.37-1 and got several blackouts since 
then. The blackouts tend to disappear when uptime rises, so I don't 
reboot often :-)


By the way, the radeon.new_pll=0 trick has not been possible with 
2.6.37. As passing that option while booting used to solve the problem 
(or more probably hide it), has that option been renamed or is it gone ?


Thanks,

It was removed in 2.6.37 as it always uses the old pll algo.  However,
there were a lot of pll fixes in 2.6.38 that should show up in the
stable stream as well.

IIRC the kernel reverted to the old pll algo, with some fixes.

You can probably find 2.6.37-rc7 packages on snapshot.debian.org if you
want to verify that's not affected.

Alternatively, you can try
Dave's drm-radeon-testing tree as it has some pll patches:

I'll try to build that and use it at my next reboot.

I cold rebooted with this option shortly after your mail, meaning more 
than 40 hours ago, and to date I have not experienced the problem at all.


This is still no complete proof since I have randomly had long periods 
(like more than a week) in the past without the problem, but if it's a 
coincidence it is a strong one.


I'll report back if the problem resurfaces. I'll also try the 2.6.32 
kernel with this option at my next reboot.

argh, is there a documented process to build a debian package from this?

Checkout the tree and run 'make deb-pkg'.

yes, and now I'm on 2.6.36rc6 from experimental. The blackouts tend to 
be less frequent, but still there.



Also, try dri2 packages were recently upgraded in squeeze. However,
you may also try the ones in experimental.


I'm using all from sid or experimental:

- mesa 7.8.2-2
