Bug Description

I installed Lucid on my IBM T41 laptop with a Radeon RV250 chipset.

After resuming from a suspend, I only see the mouse cursor on a black background. Switching VTs and coming back to X doesn't change anything.

The dmesg log shows lots of ioctl errors in the radeon driver.

WORKAROUND: Booting with "nomodeset" in the kernel cmdline fixes suspend/resume.

KMS broke support for s/r for AGP RV250. A work around is to boot with radeon.agpmode=-1 to disable AGP.

I have the same problem on my Thinkpad T41 with RV250 on Maverick. This system has been upgraded twice from 9.10.

Although hibernate/resume works fine, suspend/resume does not. Plus, there's some video corruption of the ubuntu logo during bootup and shutdown. So, I thought I'd try turning off kernel mode setting (KMS). I'm running grub2. In /etc/default/grub, I replaced this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

with this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

Now, resuming from suspend seems to work perfectly. I'm not sure whether there's a performance hit by not using KMS. Is nomodeset the default when installing Maverick on older AGP radeon systems like these? Should it be in Natty? Will suspend/resume under KMS ever work on older AGP radeon systems?

I'm assuming that assigning this to xserver-xorg-video-ati is more appropriate than generically assigning it to linux (Ubuntu)

@Martin, no, with kernel modesetting it's the kernel that's responsible for all of this. xserver-xorg-video-ati is just the DDX driver and no longer handles this.

Resume from suspend was being broken on my laptop for about half a year. I've just found the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782782 thread and written the following script which works like a charm.

#!/bin/bash
gnome-screensaver-command -l
sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force

I'm currently running Natty and using the radeon driver. Hope this helps someone.

Amit Kucheria, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

This should be fixed in the upstream 3.7-rc7 kernel by this commit:

radeon: add AGPMode 1 quirk for RV250

The Intel 82855PM host bridge / Mobility FireGL 9000 RV250 combination
in an (outdated) ThinkPad T41 needs AGPMode 1 for suspend/resume (under
KMS, that is). So add a quirk for it.

(Change R250 to RV250 in comment for preceding quirk too.)

Cc: stable

As you can see, it has been cc'd to stable, so it will probably make it's way to the 3.6 and 3.2 kernel series eventually. Once it's in the upstream 3.2 kernel it should be automatically included in an Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" SRU.
