 Screen Freezes

(1/1)

finotti:
I'm having the following problem with my Lenovo t440p: once the screen locks, it freezes.  (It might not freeze right away, maybe after a while being locked.  I'm not sure.)  But it seems that it is running.  I can type my password, but nothing changes.  But, if I switch to a VT (with Ctrl+Alt+Fn) and come back (with Ctrl+Alt+F7), it is unlocked.

So, basically switching back and forth to a VT unfreezes the screen.

Here is some info on the system:

Any ideas?

towo:
Try booting with

--- Code: --- intel_iommu=igpu_off
--- End code ---
as bootparameter.

And btw, why you don't use the recent kernel?

hendrikL:
mh, why using the intel-driver not modesetting from the kernel?

What you can try, add to the boot-parameters "intel_iommu=igfx_off"


Also, if you don't need the 20-intel.conf, rename it!


--- Code: ---mv 20-intel.conf 20-intel.conf~
--- End code ---

ps. try first what towo wrote ;)

finotti:
Thanks, towo and HendrikL.  The boot parameter seems to have fixed it!
Out of curiosity, what does it really do?

My wife uses this, so I don't have access to often to update it.  But now it is up to date:



--- Code: ---# uname -a
Linux t440p 5.7.6-towo.1-siduction-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT siduction 5.7-9 (2020-06-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux

--- End code ---

I assumed that the intel driver would be better?  I think I was using modesetting before and can't quite remember if I changed it because I had a problem or just because I thought intel would work better.
