always

Additional info:
Fixed in upstream kernel :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f0fb6d7798e7e2d1f37a2c15892910661bdaba55

Could this be backported to rawhide kernel and possibly F7 and F8 too ?
I link to a bug report that as not been closed, but it was confirmed to fix the
pb for several users in openchrome mailing lists.
Comment 1 Dave Airlie 2008-03-26 23:38:39 UTC 
this should be fixed in rawhide now.
Comment 2 Xavier Bachelot 2008-03-27 11:36:03 UTC 
Would it be possible to get this fixed in F7 and F8 too ?
