All the patches are based on linux kernel 2.6.27-rc2 Seems to work for me when compiled into kernel on Commell LE365D (Via CX700) though I get two unwanted effects: - boot logo does not show up, where it should appear I just get a square of colored pixels (2 colors: background and foreground grid) - when blanking console colored text remains visible (e.g. green '*' characters emitted during Gentoo boot) Ideally the output/monitor should got into standby when console is blanking The boot logo issue exists when patch is applied to 2.6.26.2 and 2.6.27-rc2-git4, for the console blanking it's only tested on 2.6.26.2 as 2.6.27-rc2-git4 panics while probing hard drives. Framebuffer related kernel commandline options: video=viafb:viafb_mode=1280x1024,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=60 Suspend to RAM (S3) works with BIOS configured to reinitialize the graphics at resume time, I have not yet checked without this option being enabled in BIOS (though it probably won't work as there is no suspend/resume callback in the patch-set). Have not checked yet if DRI has support for CX700 and can do the suspend/resume handling as the intel DRI can do. As Krzysztof Helt I'm in favor of merging and ironing out remaining issues with incremental patches Bruno
