I'm running Arch on a Samsung NC20 laptop/netbook with the openchrome driver. I almost always use this laptop hooked up to an external monitor. When I first installed Arch, and for a few weeks thereafter, the laptop's own screen (LVDS-1) did not work: it would cycle between red, green and grey blocks of colour and then go black. I found the following post

Recently, more people are buying home computer desks to work at home more efficiently. Rather than repurposing an existing piece of furniture like an end table or credenza to try and get by, many remote workers are choosing to buy a PC desk or computer table that is ergonomically designed for computers.

that seemed to describe the problem and followed the solution given there: passing

to the kernel at boot. I've added this to the 'APPEND' line in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg and the laptop's screen is now working... after a fashion.

The problem is that it now flickers, with horizontal lines, so violently that I sometimes cannot read it at all. This means that I cannot use the laptop without an external monitor. The external monitor that I use does not flicker at all while this goes on, however. It is rock solid, even though it is displaying the same thing as the laptop's screen. (I've not yet set up multihead.) The flickering begins as soon as the boot menu appears, before I've started X11.

After looking around at previous threads, I've tried disabling KMS by passing

to the kernel, but this did not work. Nor did passing

to the kernel.

Any ideas, anyone, on what to do next?

Thanks,

After a lot of investigation, it turned out to be the battery. I simply unplugged it and plugged it back in. Then everything was working again. I'm not sure if my system update caused something funny to happen or it was a huge coincidence that the reboot I performed following the system update messed with the battery.

After my last post, I figured it must be the BIOS. I wanted to do a BIOS update, but tool via Samsung can only be used in Windows 7+ environment. First goal was to get Windows installed. I bought another mSATA SSD and attempted to install Win7 on it. Win 7 installer wouldn't boot from USB. I tried using another SSD that already had a working installation of Win 7 and swapped it in. Windows 7 would hang in the same place the installer would at the 'Starting Windows' screen.

I opened up the laptop and started removing components. RAM, Wifi, resetting BIOS via removing CMOS battery. Eventually what worked was pulling the battery and running on AC power. Windows booted instantly. Curious, I plugged the battery back in and Windows also booted properly, even without AC power. I jumped back into Arch Linux and ACPI was working fine again.

I ended up updating the BIOS to the latest anyway: P05AAC since I had a Windows 7 drive with me.
