Pat,
The problem seems to occur only on Intel graphics. The nvidia cards
seem not to be affected.
[root@fischer ~]# lsmod |grep i915
i915 929459 4
i2c_algo_bit 13413 1 i915
drm_kms_helper 98226 1 i915
drm 311588 3 i915,drm_kms_helper
i2c_core 40325 5
drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit
video 19263 2 i915,asus_wmi
I've also tried to put nomodeset as kernel parameter but the results
remain the same.
Any clue?
