[ 37.611579] [drm:radeon_acpi_init] *ERROR* Cannot find a backlight controller I found some cards reported having these errors earlier in 3.13 kernel but it was found to be fixed in 3.15 (dont know if this is a reccurence of that bug). The UVD initialization for integrated card seems to be fine while UVD fails for Dedicated card.Currently the problems faced due to this are that booting succeeds randomly(sometimes it gives a black screen sometimes it gets stuck before login screen) and when it does the booting time is high. It also shows these errors during shutdown.I tried to turn off dpm ,but that gave me a blank screen(and not able to load X).I tried other kernels and it persists in 3.17 and 3.18 kernels. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
