laptop screen goes dark in boot

laptop: asus F3TC, amd Turion, NV-go7300
kernel-3.0.17-r1 tuxonice

screen goes dark just after I see the linux boot logo,
when using kernel 2.6.x, I even do not use hotkey to control lcd backlight,
default light is ok,
but now, it goes dark, re-compiled kernel many times, but no luck,

in kernel acpi config page, I did't see the "video" module, and seems no
/proc/acpi/video/ .

is there anyone have met this problem and have solution ?

thanks!

If you can boot the machine with a recent rescue cd, you can see which
kernel modules are in use and then configure your own kernel to use the
same ones.

Re: laptop screen goes dark in boot [In reply to]

did you look at the logs? if you haven't already looked at them dmesg and /var/log/rc.log
have information that could help you pinpoint the problem.
one of the earlier live-cds had that problem and I got around it by starting the the cd with
"gentoo noacpi nox" options though I doubt this can help in your case.
could you provide some more information like the logs, the loader conf files and may be
.config of your kernel make?

Re: laptop screen goes dark in boot [In reply to]

I get the dmesg log and kernel config, forgot to get the rc.log ( using
windows now ).
please help to have a look on these files,
also tryed boot with different kernel parameters for acpi, only acpi=off
works, but I don't think it is a good idea.
I'm using grub4dos with "kernel (hd0,7)/kernel-3.0.17-r1 root=/dev/sda9 ro
quiet vga=792 gentoo=nodevfs acpi_enforce_resources=lax
resume=swap:/dev/sda7", remove the "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" also not
works.

thanks!

Re: laptop screen goes dark in boot [In reply to]

Please try to deactivate everything related to framebuffer and specific
video hardware in your kernel config. See if it helps, then activate one
option at a time until it breaks again.

Specifically:
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y

The only thing you really need for the start is CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE.

Hope this helps,
Florian Philipp

P.S.: Please don't top-post in the future. Use an email client that
allows you to write your response below the text you quote. That makes
large threads easier to read.

Re: laptop screen goes dark in boot [In reply to]

unless you have solved the problem already, could you please
post the rc.log, too?

I just turn on /etc/r.conf 'rc_logger="YES"', here is rc.log
