I've just tested Debian version 2.6.32-5-686 (which I think corresponds roughly with 2.6.32.41, at least according to changelog.Debian.gz). Unfortunately the corruption on the external display is still present under the same conditions (no corruption when nothing changes on either display; large corruptions on motion). Is that a recent enough kernel for the test to be interesting, or should I be building my own using higher patches (i.e. is there relevant stuff between .41 and .45 that I should be looking at? A quick grep for "i915" didn't suggest so, but I could be wrong.) Thanks, Christophe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
