------- Comment #13 from prein...@logic.at  2009-01-27 00:23 -------
Haaa, no, these patches are not necessary, neither are any other patch. The
real problem was somehow a different .config.

With 2.6.29-rc2 suddenly my i915 drm kernel module was lost, and only with very
strange playing around and hand editing of the .config file and activating
CONFIG_FB I got it (the drm module) back (btw, I never had CONFIG_FB set till
2.6.28 and it always had worked to get i915 drm module).

I had to add quite some settings and it looks like one of those made the
change:

That is the diff from old to new config:

+CONFIG_FB_INTEL=y

And, now X also echos something new to the Xorg.0.log:
(II) intel(0): I2C device "LVDSDDC_C:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0.
(II) intel(0): I2C device "LVDSDDC_C:ddc2" removed.

So I assume that it has something to do either with CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C or
CONFIG_FB_DDC.

But why on earth did that all work out of the box on 2.6.28?

Hope that helps to explain these problems, and someone else finds a proper
solution.

Thanks

(BTW I don't consider that fixed,probably anyone having CONFIG_FB disabled in
2.6.28 will have that problem, loosing i915 drm and brightness adjustment)
