On pre-855 chips, I think you'll still need to POST in order to suspend properly. This is because 830 chips use DVO attached DACs to drive LVDS and other outputs, which the kernel does not yet save/restore properly (this will change once DRM based mode setting is merged). > Jesse asking for a dump of the video rom. > > Since this list was likely not read by Karl, I doubt the dump ever > arrived.

I'll pull it down and add it to my collection. I definitely need more 830 class ROMs to finish the DRM based mode setting bits (even the current xf86-video-intel doesn't get the info it needs about DVO connections to work everywhere). > Another curious -- possibly completely unrelated -- thing is that the > brightness controls normally pop up a little icon in the upper left > with a "pie chart" showing the current level.

You should probably file it at bugs.freedesktop.org under xf86-video-intel. -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
