After a suspend-resume cycle, shutting down the OS causes screen flashes
Hi All,
I'm using CentOS 5.2 and fglrx 8.10 graphics driver for ATI radeon X1200 card. The problem scenario is as follows ( otherwise everything is fine):
1. Suspend the system and resume it back => Resume cycle is successful and system is up and running OK.
2. Shutdown CentOS => No shutdown messages seen and the monitor keeps on flashing white-black-white-black repeatedly, with the last text (while resuming) seen on it while its black.
dmesg ( fglrx o/p 😞
------------------------
[root@localhost ~]# cat dmesg | grep fgl
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.

I can see nothing much wrong in the logs. It seems like a fglrx driver issue. I tried higher fglrx driver packages too ( 8.11 to 9.x ), which crash the kernel and don't work. Does anyone has encountered such condition and know any workarounds ?
As an aside issue ( and I think its related ), when I use vga modes other than "normal" in the kernel command line ( e.g. vga=788 or vga=791 ), The screen is completely blank while shutting down the OS; Also I cannot see any VT terminal, when I turn on VT switching( Ctrl-Alt-F ) in xorg.conf.
Following is my xorg.conf file:
