Re: X3.6/4 (woody) ct-Driver lockups
I've checked this problem on my IBM TP235 which has CT65555,
and it seems that the offending part is vgaHWRestore() called
from chipsRestore() in ct_driver.c
I already reported this to chips list in XFree86, and am waiting
for answer from chips driver developers.

list, so this is the upstream problem, not the Debian specific.

I'm running 2.2.17, and the problem arises on my system. So the kernel
version is irrelevant, I think.

I want to know if this is possible, too.
