I don't think so.  The problem below occurs as a result of fbdev
suspending and shows up after resume.  My problem is when the screen
blanks after being idle for a while, and doing suspend/resume fixes
it.  Also, I don't use fbdev, because I don't get a working display at
all with it.

That said, I can pull down this kernel and give it a try.

Thanks,
Jerry Quinn
