>Description:
On a Sony VAIO PCG-Z505HE running the default X serer from NetBSD 1.4.2,
viz. 3.3.6, after resuming from an apm suspend or hibernation, the X pointer
is corrupt (looks like random garbage). Moving the cursor such that the server
would change the pointer (e.g. from an xterm to the root window) fixes the
problem.
I don't know what is broken here (hardware?), or what should be done
about it. As far as I know, there is no mechanism for the kernel to signal
the X server about power events so that cleanup can happen. Is there some way
the X server should be able to detect this condition and fix it? It seems like
it's probably trivial to workaround, but I dont'; know at what layer to apply
a workaround...
THe video device probes as:
vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0: Neomagic MagicMedia 256AV VGA (rev. 0x20)
And the X server (SVGA server) IDs it as:
(--) SVGA: PCI: NeoMagic NM2200 rev 32, Memory @ 0xfd000000, 0xfe400000
(--) SVGA: chipset: NM2200
(--) SVGA: videoram: 2560k
(**) SVGA: Using 8 bpp, Depth 8, Color weight: 666
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Move the cursor ;-)
