The lack of source means we have absolutely no idea what these drivers do over suspend/resume, and there's no way to figure out what we should be doing in response. The long-term solution involves moving modesetting and video initialisation into the kernel, but I strongly suspect that that will end up breaking the binary drivers for a significant period of time until they adjust. I don't see any way we can make this work properly within the next 18 months. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
