have checked this patches on my RAGE MOBILITY on top of 2.6.17.11(added with some fuzzies) Signed-off-by: Alexander Kern <redacted> for all 9 patches Best Wishes Mit freundlichen Gr?n P.S. I would like to iron out the long standing issue on my laptop I saw about for along time. I can shutdown but reboot. At least TFT goes^ There should be a "not" here, right?quoted
black, leds go off and than nothing. Have you any infos about special register state for MOBILITY before reboot?No. My OmniBook 500 does the same thing BTW. I can shutdown but reboot just hangs the laptop. I'm guessing the BIOS doesn't like the state in which atyfb leaves the card. The reason I'm thinking it's the BIOS is that my OB6000, which has nearly the same hardware, reboots just fine. I also tried all of the reboot= kernel options but none helped. Maybe we just need to restore some of the original state before reboot. But I don't know if that's even possible. Do drivers get any kind of notification about reboot?I used to have the same problem (shutdown works, reboot hangs with black screen) on my Vaio Z600 (Z505 in US/JP), but recent 2.6 (I use a Debian kernel) seems to have this fixed.
Was that with atyfb? My OB500 reboots fine without atyfb. -- Ville Syrjälä syrjala@sci.fi http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
