Avivo status

[Michael Olbrich]

Hi,

first of all thanks for the great work. I've been using avivo for a
while now on a dayly basis and it works great during normal operations.

My hardware:
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 (prog-if 00 [VGA])

There are however two remaining issues:

1. closing and opening the lid (it's a laptop) will still mess up the
   screen.
   There is no output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
   The screen is still updated e.g. I see the (distorted) cursor moving
   switching to/from another vt restores the screen

2. after some idle time the system locks up.
   magic SysRq to sync and power off is the only thing that still
   worked.
   As far as I can tell this first appeared with:
--------------------------------------------------------------

    avivo: rework output dpms handling.

    This should have better behavior when dpms status change
    is triggered.
--------------------------------------------------------------
   So I think it's dpms related. I am however rather sure that the
   lockup does not appear before 60min while the dpms off timeout is
   30 minutes.
   /var/log/Xorg.0.log ends with:
--------------------------------------------------------------
(II) avivo(0): DISABLE TMDS2
(II) avivo(0): DISABLE TMDS2
--------------------------------------------------------------
   Maybe disabling TMDS2 twice is causing problems?
