Perhaps someone can help me here...I am confounded by this. I am running Debian testing, kernel 2.6.4, on a laptop with an Intel 855 integrated graphics chip, which uses the i810 X display driver. XFree86 has been upgraded to 4.3.x from unstable (4.2.1 does not support this chip, or so I'm told).
This laptop needs the dsdt-in-initrd patch to do anything useful with ACPI. If that patch is active and there is a DSDT in the initrd (in other words, ACPI is working), and I close the lid on my laptop in X, when I open it the Kicker bar has disappeared from the bottom of the screen and there is a corrupted bar at the top of the screen (about the size of the Kicker, interestingly enough). This persists until X is restarted. This does NOT happen when: * I am using the vesa display driver instead of i810. * ACPI is disabled by "acpi=off" or the patched DSDT isn't available to the kernel. I have used a two other distros on this machine before, both with 2.6.x kernels, and this is the first time this has happened. I have tried: * disabling different extensions, including DRI * and disabling the framebuffer. I was unable to disable the VESA framebuffer and use the Intel-specific driver instead because Bootsplash requires vesafb and fails compilation without it. Nothing has worked. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I would appreciate anything!! -- Andrew Barr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
