a few days
ago I was quite happy with
2.6.37-rc5-686 because
ath5k suddenly works.
but.
but then I found out that it turns off the screen so effectively (after the
screensaver, so in DPMS standby/suspend/off) that it stays black.
not good.
ok, let's try (vanilla)
2.6.37-rc7. – no DKMS & no X.
not good.
let's apply a friendly patch from the Debian kernel. – DKMS & X
are back. but DPMS still leaves the screen black. also when invoked manually
with
xset.
not good.
let's ask a search engine. – oh, a known bug:
22672. hm. at
least the workaround (close lid / suspend to RAM) works. & turning off
DPMS (in xscreensaver & laptopmode) obviously helps.
but then my poor
noseguy can't stop
wandering around the screen ...
don't we all love the blood^Wbleeding edge?
