From: Alex Deucher <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 11:11:08 -0500 I'm not sure if this sequence will cause any problems on PC laptops or not, I suppose it depends on the oem, so I've made the patch mac-specific for now. If the attached patch works for you, I'll go ahead and commit it. It seems to work so far. I still have other issues with this machine, but with one exception, I don't think they're due to this driver.
FWIW, the code I altered is a fairly direct crib from the radeon_fb driver in the kernel. See, for instance, linux-2.6.31/src/drivers/video/aty.c, circa line 1020. That's pretty clearly doing the same sort of thing I patched in the xf86-video-ati driver, even has similar comments about asic bugs. That code is not conditional. If you want to commit it, that's probably a step to the good. I have one other wacky thing that happens to the screen "every once in a while", if I track that down and it turns out to be in this driver, I'll send another patch. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
