Sometimes, after I wake my FW13 from suspend, the laptop becomes very sluggish and only registers mouse movement every ~1 second. The screen also refreshes much slower, around ~2-3 fps. Needless to say, this is very annoying to debug, so I haven’t tried many things. I have run htop and it seems like CPU and RAM usage is normal. A force-restart by holding the power button restores normal operation.

This behaviour happens around once in every 20 times I suspend the laptop, more often when I suspend it for a long period of time.

Any suggestions on what to do are welcome!

I am experiencing this too! such a bummer. are you plugged into a dock? it has only happened to me once and it was today attached to my caldigit ts-4.

Not a dock, but I do notice that it’s more common when I’m plugged into my monitor via the HDMI expansion port (or maybe it’s just confirmation bias).

What kind of display do you have? Is it the newer one with round corner or the older one? The newer one has VRR and I suspect that being one of the reasons.

Try running the following - I have this mapped to Meta+Ctrl+Shift+B (same as the Windows shortcut), though needs to be run as root so you might want to put an entry in sudoers.

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/amdgpu_gpu_recover

I’m using the old display.

Thanks, I’ll try it next time this happens.

The amd GPU debug mask kernel parameter will solve this issue. You can find it in other threads. I am at work so I can try to dig it out later if you can’t find it

I had a similar problem (AMD FW13).
When it happened, I checked “top” in the terminal and a kernel task (kworker) was using 97-100% CPU.
I can’t prove it for certain yet, but I think a bug may have been introduced on upgrade from standard LTS kernel version (6.8) to the HWE kernel (6.11). My understanding is that this happens automatically on the first LTS point release (i.e from 24.04 to 24.04.01)?
I have downgraded the kernel to 6.8 for now, and don’t seem to be having an issue anymore. I followed the instructions HERE to do this.

I got the exact same problem on my Thinkpad T14 G3 AMD. After waking up from suspend there is a chance of constant stutter, lag and micro freezes. I only had them with Ubuntu Distros and not with Fedora. I thought it had something to do with bluetooth devices being connected while going in suspend mode. Other Forums were talking about an AMD gpu driver problem in that kernel. I really dont know what to do here but for now i maxxed out the UMA Frame Buffer Size in the Bios to 4Gigs and disabled always on USB (Because im using an Logitech Bolt receiver).
