I tested 2.6.34-rc6 yesterday (with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.11.0-1 and xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.6.901-3), and the new kernel showed some improvement. Even with an external monitor attached to my ThinkPad X30 laptop, the X server starts correctly and provides a stable graphics display on the internel LCD screen. In other words, with 2.6.34-rc6, I no longer need to unplug the external monitor before starting X to avoid the blank screen problem.
Unfortunately, some problems remain: * Extensive rendering artifacts at 24bpp (16bpp is fine). * Flashing and jumping (horizontally) images on the external monitor. It looks like the kernel driver failed to properly configure the VGA output DAC. Switching the external monitor off-and-on with xrandr has no effect on the problem (i.e., it does not help). For now I am staying with 2.6.34-rc5. -- Chuan-kai Lin http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~cklin/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
