Bug#568207: Test results with 2.6.34-rc6

[Chuan-kai Lin <cklin@debian.org>]

I tested 2.6.34-rc6 yesterday (with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.11.0-1
and xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.6.901-3), and the new kernel showed some
improvement.  Even with an external monitor attached to my ThinkPad X30
laptop, the X server starts correctly and provides a stable graphics
display on the internel LCD screen.  In other words, with 2.6.34-rc6, I
no longer need to unplug the external monitor before starting X to avoid
the blank screen problem.

Unfortunately, some problems remain:

 * Extensive rendering artifacts at 24bpp (16bpp is fine).

 * Flashing and jumping (horizontally) images on the external monitor.
   It looks like the kernel driver failed to properly configure the VGA
   output DAC.  Switching the external monitor off-and-on with xrandr
   has no effect on the problem (i.e., it does not help).

For now I am staying with 2.6.34-rc5.
