previously, support for switching between virtual terminals -- or between virtual terminals and the X Window System -- was not fully implemented for newer Intel graphics cards. Users experienced a wide range of problems when they switched, including: losing the display completely; having the display filled with random, pulsating colors; receiving "out of range" or "can't display this mode" errors; the system ceasing to respond; or the system restarting. Cards affected included those with the G4X, G965, GM45, Q43, and Q45 chipsets. The driver now includes full support for switching to, from, and between virtual terminals, meaning that users can switch safely without encountering the problems that they experienced previously.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Created attachment 341432 [details] Updated patch Updated patch from upstream including also commit id 3aa8591abfbe8db0f13912910c850fdd748808df http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=3aa8591abfbe8db0f13912910c850fdd748808df Created attachment 341807 [details]
Disable center on 965 and G4X class hw
There was another update to this codepath in the upstream driver recently to put back in the "disable center" code for 965 and G4X class hw. I've attached the patch here, if we can get this tested and confirmed on top of the patch propose above, we should add this bit to the patch.
Created attachment 341905 [details]
Merge of the two previous patches
This patch merges all the patches mentioned, so that the resulting code for i830_disable_vga_plane() is identical to current upstream code, as of today.
This is the one that was applied to the new test package provided to our partner today.
