I tried this revised kernel package on my Aspire One (Intel 945GME I
think?) and the screen died twice not long after boot. In both events, I
had to perform a reboot (SysRq + REISUB) to bring it back to life.
Next, I tried booting with the 'nomodeset' kernel option, but X
complained that "no screens [were] found". Later I discovered that I had
to downgrade xf86-video-intel to 2.9.1-1 because apparently 2.9.99.902-1
requires KMS.
I should note that with 2.6.32.2-1 I had noticed only one or two screen
blackouts in the ~6 days I was using it.
I keep seeing signoffs being given for this kernel. Does this mean that
KMS on Intel cards (and especially the GMA 950 which I have) works fine
for others? Maybe I should try again with xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1
instead of 2.9.99.902-1?
