We have (graphics drivers + console + some versions?) * (laptop models) * (BIOS versions, Vista capable?) * 2 (DOS=0/1) to test... > Usual caveats, though. It works only on text mode, or VESA. Yes, I think I also saw DOS=1 for vesa-fb and console working on another machine, above test machine seem to have a specific problem here again... I haven't read the bugs in detail, do we have a chance to figure out why the machines hang with DOS=0 (this should never happen? DOS=1 and graphics driver active would make some sense..., but I'd expect DOS=0 to be the safe one?). Maybe we could check for: - Are all video extension functions available - Blacklist for date (e.g. not before 2006) otherwise do not touch video switching at all (maybe the same with brightness). Would that help to let the machines not freeze? Or better would this match most machines which would not work correctly anyway or even freeze? We also need a better overview IMO. Having single bug reports flying around is too much work to read up and get in order. I don't have much reports yet. OpenSUSE 10.3 was shipped with the video driver blacklisted at the end because it interfered with the Intel graphics driver. I wonder how we could get people together and summarize yet found problems... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
