I don't think so. The problem below occurs as a result of fbdev suspending and shows up after resume. My problem is when the screen blanks after being idle for a while, and doing suspend/resume fixes it. Also, I don't use fbdev, because I don't get a working display at all with it. That said, I can pull down this kernel and give it a try. Thanks, Jerry Quinn > ------------------ > 1.
