Comment 70 for bug 943263

Oh yes there was and now even without the patch my machine displays something on the DVI screen when both screens are plugged and the GPU doesn't hang anymore even without NoAccel (but only from a cold boot, if I reboot/reset I get a black screen and the GPU hangup). So part of the problem was really a firmware issue.

With the patch I can't seem to provoke the GPU hangup anymore.

But my VGA screen continues to be stubbornly off when booting with both screens plugged. Continues to work if I plug my VGA screen after booting.

So now I can start X safely without NoAccel that's one good thing.

BTW my motherboad is an Asus F1A75-M now my firmware is the latest version (2004) upgraded from 1903.

Oh BTW I am booting in uEFI mode using grub-2.00 I don't know if this might change something.
