Mike <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Mike <[email protected]> --- Update: my laptop's display totally died yesterday--no backlight OR anything displayed in reflected light. Booting in Vista (which I had saved on the old hard driver that came with it when I replaced it with an SSD) didn't change anything. Vista showed no monitor present other than the external one I had connected, which it read as PnP generic. One oddity: both Vista and the BIOS Int13 displayed on an external SVGA monitor just fine, yet Slackware 14.1 updated to 3.14.12(?) would not--yet some Nouveau versions, including 3.10.17 that came stock when Slackware 14.1 came out, did just fine as I was using Nouveau at a couple of LUG meetings talking to a projector. Anyway, at this point I think its near-impossible to state whether Nouveau screwed with something in BIOS it should have, or this was an intermittent hardware failure that coincidentally started when I upgraded to kernel 3.14 (stranger things have happened), or what, but at 7 years old, I've been thinking for a while of replacing this laptop--guess I have a good reason now. Marking this resolved-invalid unless any of you can think of a reason why not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
