Description User & 2011-11-11 19:10:05 UTC
HP Envy 17 3d Laptop

After some time, and after dpms blanks the screen, the system becomes non-responsive to the keyboard and mouse.  Moving the mouse or pressing keys
does not wake the display.

I can log in from a remote system and things seem normal, however, X is disconnected.

as root:

xset q
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
xset:  unable to open display "192.168.2.3:0.0"

dbus and hald are running.  Restarting either or both does not effect things.

A process that was running before seems to accumulate CPU time - top shows increasing numbers.
Xorg seems to not be using CPU time.

======================================
dmesg has lots of error messages like

ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\\_SB_.WMID.HWMC] (Node 0xffffff00024e9100), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20101013/psparse-633)

======================================
var/log/messages has many entries like

How-To-Repeat: 1 Boot
2 login and startx
3 xset dpms 300 0 0  ## I have tried various combinations
4 wait until the screen blanks
5 move the mouse and/or press keys
6 If the system wakes up, go to 4

After some time, maybe overnight, the system will fail to respond to 5.

If I do

xset -dpms

After three days, no problem.

This is related to suspend/resume.

Unfortunately, no action was taken on this bug for over a decade, so it likely has been 'overcome by events'.  DPMS doesn't suspend the laptop, but affects power management related to the display.

User &, do you know if this is still a problem with recent FreeBSD and Xorg versions?
