--- Comment #19 from Lee Matheson 2010-05-20 11:21:36 UTC ---
This is very confusing. The Intel 855GM X-Server freeze thread is difficult to
follow:
(1) In the bugzilla.kernel.org thread
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15248) , as near as I can
determine, user Jesse Barnes speculated was suggeted to be a LID problem with a
patch noted in post#5 and post#11 which is an LID fix (Lid detection ?? ).
In post #14 Daniele C. added as an attachment a modified version of Jesse
Barnes' patch for latest linus tree
Then it was disputed by others in that thread, noting the tread was NOT about a
lid detection fix.
Then in post#35 Daniele C (on 2010-02-17 10:50:20) included an attachment,
which Daniele C claimed was FC13's DRM patch for i8xx devices.
Post#37 possibly compares the two patches ??
That bug report 15248 has been closed with a note that "RESOLVED
PATCH_ALREADY_AVAILABLE" but I do not know which patch they mean. I find this
very difficult to understand.
(2) Plus, to add to the confusion, the freedesktop post#61
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345#c61 fix (Intel i845GM)
puports to have a fix, albiet I do not know if that fix is specific to the
i845GM or if it also applies to the i855GM.
(3) then, the launchpad.net site notes
(https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix) an 855GM fix of the 855GM
problem noted in the freedesktop.org (intel i855GM) problem (reported here
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187) where there is a Ubuntu
community live CD with this fixed (I downloaded and burned the CD and I will
give it a try soon) http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568.
(4) I think this same i855GM problem is identical to an openSUSE 11.3 bug
report raised by me:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593463
And if the above reads to be confusing - well it definitely is confusing to me.
My apologies for the confusion, and I hope I have not added to it too much.
