This originally was noticed on a Toshiba Portege with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller. Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=184877 it looks like this is actually supposed to be working. Anyone know expected current state for this?
This isn't expected to work in RHEL5. That's why "inverted" isn't in the list of possible reflections.
