As you might guess, KMS is implemented in the kernel. So if the problem is actually in KMS/2.6.30, this bug should be reassigned to the kernel package. Please check with a more recent kernel, 2.6.31 or 2.6.32-rc to see if it helps first. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
