Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The inter xorg driver does not work on asus eeetop (ET1602).
It reports the following error:
(EE) intel(0): SDVO: No active TMDS outputs (0x4000)

Such a bug has been fixed in more recent xorg releases
(see for example:
[1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11645
[2] 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=59b0fbb9be880d489374b141f818948a2721a2ef
The patch described in [2] can be backported with a slight modification to
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6,
(by replacing dev_priv->controlled_output with dev_priv->active_outputs),
and indeed the X server will start on such hardware.

I think that this patch can be added safely into debian/patches.
Sincerely.
