From bb7e257ef8d8ba43cab356aa1cc1b20d0106d45f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:59:52 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] vesafb: Fix display corruption on display blank Reported by: Bob Tracy "...I've got a Toshiba notebook (730XCDT -- Pentium 150MMX) for which I'm using the Vesa FB driver. When the machine has been idle for some time and the driver attempts to powerdown the display, rather than the display going blank, it goes gray with several strange lines. When I hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video state is not fully restored..." vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and powerdown. The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking, and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.
