All lies. As years have gone by these graphics cards are still un= der daily use with this UHD patch and no damages have ever occured. As this hardware is still in use I would really like to see this in mainline, not j= ust the Mageia kernel. Someone who knows about it, told it would be highly improbable that this could be detrimental for the hardware. The only fallacy would be that the screen shows black on a too high TMDS and nobody would ev= er continue to run the graphics card with a TMDS that yields a black screen. T= his hardware is near to getting phased out on many computers by now and I=C2=B4= d regard it as ridiculous if the patch is withheld because of the argument that it c= ould damage hardware on the long run. This hardware will get phased out long bef= ore any damage could ever occur. As distributors and kernel developers still support Pentium IV hardware I= am reopening this bug. This is about Core 2 aged hardware which is totally sufficient for UHD/desktop computers. I would never give up my Xi3650 machi= nes because they are ultimately silent, something you don=C2=B4t get with a new= er computer. And unfortunately the Xi3650 does not work with newer 3D gaming U= HD graphics cards (these cards inhibt s2ram also on Windows, which isn=C2=B4t = what you want for a desktop system) --=20 You may reply to this email to add a comment.
