[Bug 32319] New: Display fades to white screen instead of blanking out in DPMS mode on a Sony Vaio VPCEC3L1E
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32319
Summary: Display fades to white screen instead of blanking out in DPMS mode on a Sony Vaio VPCEC3L1E Product: DRI Version: DRI CVS Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: bugs.xorg@boris64.net

On my new Sony Vaio laptop (VPCEC3L1E) the screen fades to white (with backlights on, i think) instead of simply blanking out. This can be reproduced by running "xset dpms force off" or by simply waiting until powermanagement kicks in.
The graphics card used is a radeon 5xxx(?) (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68e0).
This happens on console and in X. I'll attach some pictures showing the issue.
Thanks for any help!
PS: I hope i did choose the correct product/component for this type of bug.

--- Comment #14 from boris64 bugs.xorg@boris64.net 2011-02-20 05:45:50 PST --- I really hate to bump, but are there any news/updates about this issue? Should i post more infos/logs?
Is there _anything_ i could do to make this work? _Anything_ i could test?
Additinally a second problem showed up: After suspending the laptop the screen (sometimes) flickers a lot. This only goes away if you do a complete poweroff. Should i file a new bug report or could this also be related to the actual problem?
Thanks in advance.

I remember having this problem ever since the Evergreen support started to work. Currently I'm using kernel 2.6.38-rc5+
