Hi,
The commit 3f2dc5ac05714711fc14f2bf0ee5e42d5c08c581 (drm/i915: Fix 915GM self-refresh enable/disable) causes strange regression on the HP Compaq nc6120. During and after boot to framebuffer console with just LVDS the screen is black (backlight on, but black). Starting a X server fixes the problem. Connecting an external VGA monitor also fixes the problem.
Reverting this commit fixes the problem at least up to Linux 3.14.0-rc6.
I'm still using ACPI video problem workaround that effectively does:
static int acpi_video_bus_start_devices(struct acpi_video_bus *video) { - return acpi_video_bus_DOS(video, 0, + return acpi_video_bus_DOS(video, 3, acpi_osi_is_win8() ? 1 : 0); }
in drivers/acpi/video.c.
I've added dmesgs from the last good commit and the bad commit at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76103
Thanks, Krzysiek
