Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
X locks up when using the "ati" driver with my laptop. The screen is black, and it does not respond to mouse or keyboard input.
However, the machine is not totally frozen. Processes continue to run in the background (like audio playing), and while the keyboard doesn't respond, pressing the power button does incur a normal shutdown.
I have been able to get into X using the "vesa" driver, but 1024x768 on a 1280x800 widescreen display is not fun.
I originally believed this to be the same as bug #132716, but have since been informed that it is different.
In the process of trying to solve this bug, I have tried:
* running X with no xorg.conf (same result)
* running dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg (same result)
* setting various combinations of MonitorLayout (see bug #132716, same result)
* tried running xrandr -d :0 --output LVDS --mode 0x48 (same result, with caveats, below)
* tried running xset --display :0 dpms force on (same result, with caveats, see below)
The caveats mentioned are that, unlike the poster of bug #132716, I cannot C-A-Fx out of X, so I tried these with various bash or cron tricks. As a result, I am not entirely certain that they ran successfully.
Steps to reproduce:
1. make sure your xorg.conf is using the "ati" driver
2. start X.
3. rinse, repeat :)
Hardware:
* Sony VAIO S-170 w/ ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (RV350 M10)
