The one I confirmed is corrupted graphics within Gecko. I haven't had Xv working for a long time either. Not sure if I've tried it with this kernel though. > If it's backlight related, try my patch at: > http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/16/447 Yeah also have backlight issue whenever the backlight level changes by other means than Fn+Home/End. (Lid switch, screen blank) I noticed the patch and that it solved the issue for someone. I'm not too inconvenienced by this issue though. > Or if the screen is black after suspend/screen blank Oh I've stopped using suspend since using KMS. I get way too angry about all the state that I lose if resume fails so I don't risk it. > Actually, a lot of bugs were recently introduced and fixed, with > two months ago you're probably in the new-bugs-only period, so I > can recommend trying 2.6.38-rc5. Yeah, I think it's time to pull Linus' git. I've been keeping an eye on things i915 on the list for a good while already. > This screen corruption is the only problem for me, but I don't do > anything fancy with my laptop.

I've used ipw2200 with great success for many years, but these days I'm having fun (no, not at all) with ath9k where there is some very fundamental hardware issue between laptop and card. I'd need to hook up logic analyzer to say anything concrete, but I have no end of problems with internal ath9k in my machine. It's completely unusable. The only other annoying issue I have is that as wine enumerates available screen resolutions i915 goes out to the VGA connector, which on 855 always means a 600ms timeout when nothing is connected, but this is a bit tricky because the hardware just can not tell if anything is connected. I would be very happy if there was a knob for enabling/disabling the VGA connector though. > Good luck, Thanks, you too! //Peter _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
