Fwd: X.org PCI changes breaks support for Silicon Motion SM720 Lynx3DM card?

[Richard Schwarting]

Right.

So, VT switching does work before suspend.

VT switching works without UseBIOS (at least as of patch 0005).

Suspending without X has the same effect as suspending with X.  A
blank screen that slowly bleeds white across it.

vbetool doesn't seem to help.  I will investigate this issue more
outside of X.

Do you still need anything re: the silicon motion driver?  I don't
suffer corruption under EXA or XAA and until I have suspend and resume
sorted out, I don't think there are any more issues on my system.

Thank you!
