I get
Code: [Select]
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
page table error
  PGTBL_ER:0x00000001
[drm:i915_handle_error] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
page table error
  PGTBL_ER:0x00000001

But mu power button still works, I can press it and it will shut down, I don't hve to hold it in for 5s. Ctrl-alt-bksp or ctroil-alt-del don't work, so I don't know if the power button activates some bios command, or my acpid files.

This bug has been found and fixed in other distros. Apperently it is not distro-related; it is a pre-i965 issue. See

No, I doubt it's that; that commit was merged to the kernel in 2.6.33-rc8...

I did some more googling with "[drm:i915_handle_error] suspend resume" and the boards are fairly buzzing with this bug. Very recent activity.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15659 (see especially comment #53)
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-821387-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-gpu+hung-start-25.html

And many many others.

It seems centered around kernel 2.6.32 - 2.6.34 and the i915 drivers.

I have found a way to save anything needed to debug this. Ask and ye shall receive.

Attched is my machine's dmesg. The GPU fun is right near the bottom.

Well. This is not Xorg-7.5 related - I just tested suspend-resume with Xvesa and although dmesg looks different, it also seems to crash the GPU. I don't know how I got a different result last time - with the transition to 3.x, I must have gotten confused about which kernel was involved.

So the bottom line is, suspend-resume no longer works with 2.6.33.3-tinycore. This stuff could be moved to its own kernel bug thread, I suppose?

suspend/resume works for me in  tc-3.x with Xvesa, but not Xorg-7.5

In tc-2.x suspend/resume works with both Xvesa and Xorg-7.4

..all on the same machine.

Did /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/extensions/librecord.so compile with Xorg-7.5?

I don't think I changed anything wrt record, so since it's not there, I assume it defaults to off.

edit: confirmed,

I've found the bug. When you remove waitforX from your .xsession, everything, including suspend works fine

But not only intel produces bugs here with the new KMS.
When starting Xorg for the first time you will only get a KMS vt, but no fully functional X session. So, you either have to kill and restart Xorg, or "modprobe radeon modeset=1" manually at the top of .xinitrc.

Why not put the modprobe in bootlocal.sh ?

I'm not sure. From where and when exactly does startx get called at startup?
