You may want to try a current drm-fixes kernel, e.g. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=73104b5cfe3067d68f2c2de3f3d4d4964c55873e looks possibly relevant. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
