Hi,
I have a T60 with the Gentoo-patched 2.6.20 kernel and fglrx
8.37.6. Since I've upgraded to 2.6.20, I've noticed that, under X,
the LCD will not come back on after it goes off. For example, if I
just boot the computer, but let it sit on the login screen for a
while, the lcd goes off and stays off. I can switch to the console,
and then the LCD comes back on, but I can never go back to X, even if
I restart XDM, reload the fglrx module, etc.
I am not quite sure where to begin looking to solve this problem.
Can anyone offer advice?
Thanks.
