did -p -m leave the console totally dark, or was it just empty, (but pressing enter gave you a new prompt)? I'm asking because the console being empty is not a bug but working as expected (this is documented, and somebody who really cares should probably fix it by submitting a patch ;-) > X with -p -m -s (it's in my lidswitch.sh) and that didn't have the > artifacts. > > OOI, is there any reason not to use all the workarounds all the time? Yes. Generally it is considered "best practice" to use as little workarounds as necessary, since those also might have undesirable side effects (like the artifacts in newer i810 drivers). Some machines also just plain hang if you poke at the graphics card in the running system. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
