Already done, thanks to a patch from Harald and some refactoring. While doing this, I encountered a strange thing. One of my FreeRunners does not recover from a BLANK ioctl anymore. The backlight turns on but the display does not show any pixels. I have to reboot to make it work again. Could that be connected to that infamous WSOD resume bug? Cheers, Mickey.
