The upstream bug is: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12634. All other pertinent information is there, as well as the pictures. If you wish me to republish all that info here, I will. For now, I think the link has pretty much everything else you need besides emerge --info.

Note that before GEM was added to ~arch, the machine in question would not start X at all with any .28 kernel, so this is actually sort of a move up in the world. I'll post when things happen in the upstream bug.

I'm gonna close this bug (NEEDINFO), since Bob Raitz has reported the following in bugzilla.kernel.org:

>>The machine that was having this issue has died. Therefore, unless someone else
>>wishes to champion this cause, I say let the bug die with the machine.

My apologies for not updating here. Maybe I'll run across another laptop with the same chip set, and the same issue. Until then, I agree with closing the bug.

[Comment 4 Robin Bankhead 2009-05-06 12:28:26 UTC]

I suspect this is the same bug as mine, #264128 - please see if you agree, and dupe if so.

[Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2009-05-10 23:50:50 UTC]

will keep it separate even though you're right, it is possibly the same issue.
