Comment 186 for bug 127101

Peter,

Firstly: With your debug/testing package, my Dell Inspiron 510m laptop still freezes when the lid is closed or the Fn+F8 key combination is pressed - so this is probably a BIOS interaction issue, thus appropriate for another bug report.

Secondly: Although EXA acceleration still doesn't work with compiz, it seems that your package causes the server to restart instead of the previous behaviour noted (i.e., a system freeze). This is positive news, and using a recompiled version of xserver-xorg-core without the #120 patch allows compiz to work perfectly (even when switching VTs). Again, this is a matter for another bug report, but it's relevant for you to know.

Thanks again for your help, and to everyone else who has contributed to this report :).
