Re: Intel graphics users: send me your VBIOS
2009/9/25 Adam Jackson a...@redhat.com: That reminds me, I am seeing xrandr settings not persist across suspend/resume - which component is that best filed against - kernel or xorg? Start with X. In fact, in general, report KMS bugs against X, it's easier than trying to find them in the huge pile of kernel bugs. OK, filed as BZ #525939. Seems related to BZ #520068 (reported against kernel). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Hi Adam, my ROM image is attached. My system is Lenovo ThinkPad X61s. It has one LCD display and one VGA connector, I attached stripped lspci output as well. Let me know if you need more info.

Just as a clarification: the problem I'm trying to solve here is the appearance of an LVDS output (from X's perspective) when there is not one actually present. So, ROMs from machines that have had a phantom LVDS connector at some point in the past are especially valuable. IIRC the Mac Mini and Dell Studio compact machines have had this problem before. There's one particular field in the connector table for LVDS that seems to be indicative of LVDS presence. So far, for machines where LVDS really is present, it's consistently non-zero (and these are very common, since everybody buys laptops these days). I'd like to find more machines where LVDS is _not_ present to see if it's consistently zero there; so far that seems to be the case, but I've only got two samples... - ajax signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
