Hi Greg, I have an issue with a Lenovo T60's Notebook, which has an
Intel VGA card.
[lucas@tux ~]$ lspci | grep "VGA"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS,
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
The screen turns black whenever X is executed, due to the following bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57365
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33062
Those sites havethe error output that is generated from X attempts to
start. Nonetheless, the causes of this issue have already been figured:
According to comment #32 in the freedesktop site (
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57365#c32 ), the fix has
been introduced in the 3.9 series.
Believe it or not, the last stable release in which X is able to start
is 3.6.11. The whole 3.7 and 3.8 series together were unable to tackle
this issue down. Seems that Intel is not doing its homework here :(
My question is:
Knowing that the following patches solve the issue, can they be
backported and included in the next release of 3.8 ?
Thank you very much,
Lucas
