It's been great working with you.

Branden,

Unfortunately, I have not had any success finding out what the register pokes
do.  My searches have not yielded any results.  I emailed the submitter of the
earliest patch with this poke (the linux kernel framebuffer).  He has not responded.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here.  Do you have any ideas?
    

I've discussed this with Fabio Massimo Di Nitto, the Debian package release
manager for XFree86, and I'm going to go ahead and add the patch for
4.3.0.dfsg.1-9.  If it causes more (or worse) problems than it solves,
we'll have to revert it.

Thanks for your efforts in trying to find out more information about this.

All too often, it seems, people just can't be bothered to document things.

Thanks again.  This bug will be tagged pending shortly.
