Bug#400181: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion: Xorg hangs on amd64 with Silicon Motion chip
Package: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion
Version: 1:1.3.1.5-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
the driver hangs on a Debian/amd64 system with the Silicon Motion
SM720 Lynx3DM (ID 126f:0720) card. I've asked help on the Xorg
mailing list and I got attached patch which fixes the problem:
However the patch has not yet been included upstream, so I'd really like
to see it applied in the Debian package, possibly before etch comes out.
Thanks!
