[Linux-fbdev-users] vesafb - high CPU usage after suspend to RAM

[William P. <wil...@gm...>]

Hey list,
I've got a new Dell laptop, with an Nvidia 8400GS video card.  I can
suspend to RAM fine, and waking up "works".  However, when waking up,
the [vesafb] process starts hogging 100% of one of the cores (core2duo).

I've tried attaching strace to the vesafb process, but since it's a
kernel thing (I assume), it doesn't print anything.  I've tried
Alt+SysRq+T, but that doesn't show any stack trace for vesafb for some
reason.

Can anyone clue me in on how to best debug this?  It's essentially
leaving me one core down after a suspend, which is very annoying.
