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

[Richard Schwarting]

Hey.  The patches cured XAA slowness for me and obviate the need for
the "UseBIOS" "NO" option for both EXA and XAA for me.  Hurrah.

I mentioned before that after suspending in Fedora, resuming gives me
a blank screen.  If I do any VT switches, than light streaks start
forming starting from the top and bottom edge and bleeding across
vertically across the screen.

This is with XAA acceleration, but it happens with EXA as well.

When I had a working Ubuntu installation last week, I was able to
suspend and restore freely.  Is this likely a Fedora issue and not the
driver/X?

Cheers,
  Richard
