Hi all,
I've been having a few problems with my gentoo install mainly on boot where
my screen will be blank when starting X. X is definitely working in the
background because I can login blind and hear the login sound. To get it to
work I have to continually switch between ttys until it decides to work
properly. Once into the X session with the screen on its fine, acceleration
etc is ok and it will happily resume from screensaver and display off. I
should point out though that the machine I'm using is a sony z13 with hybrid
graphics but I've got the bios forced to only use the nvidia card, mainly
because I couldn't even get the live cd to start with the hybrid graphics
on. I've attached my xorg.conf and my xorg.log. I've noted the error in the
xorg.log but the error is output even when the screen does work correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Oliver

Yes, your log shows: video=uvesafb
Which doesn't work nicely with KMS, that the latest kernels provide. Have you
looked at:

Thanks for the reply, I have looked at the document but unfortunately I
can't use Nouveau because I need 3d so I went for what I could use. I've
dropped uvesafb totally as it was pretty much useless anyway. It has sort of
helped a little, its coming up what seems like more often than before but
its still blanking quite a lot on boot. A few minutes of switching terminals
does eventually bring it up but there doesn't seem to be any reasoning
behind why it does and doesn't work. Nothing jumps out at me in the log
either.
Thanks
Oliver

Sounds like a race condition between the kernel and the uvesafb driver.
Only one of them can control the screen at any given time and console
handover is a tricky business (IIRC this was one of the very things that
drove the development of KMS). Perhaps every now and then uvesafb just
ahppened to grab (or ungrab) the console at just the right time.

while I needed my laptop for work. I've rebuilt it all now based around
gnome 3.2 but the screen issue still stands. I've only got VESA framebuffer
in and nvidia-drivers-285.05.09. I'll try it without any framebuffer drivers
but I'm a bit nervous I'll end up not being able to see anything! Any more
ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
