--- Comment #9 from roger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (roger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) ---
I think we have to agree to differ on this one. You seem to be focussing on the
software interface between the GPU and the driver.

What follows is my personal opinion.

The most likely cause of this kind of mechanical issue is the signal path
between the video interface hardware and the outside world, either a dry joint
or a mechanical fault in the cable or cable connectors. I can only reiterate
what I said in my previous post. The driver has sufficient information to
determine that a hard failure has occured, and that failure is probably not in
the gpu itself. I would like to see the driver doing a hard reset of the card
with rigorous error checking. If it cannot reset the GPU in graphical mode it
should try to set the display hardware into a basic console mode.
