I bet he thought we'd forgotten.

Unfortunately the changelog didn't give me any hint as to the
seriousness of the problem which was fixed. So I queued it for 2.6.30,
perhaps inappropriately.

I noticed because of another bug in omapfb which required blanking in
order to actually see something (PM stuff?). If user-space tries to
blank the usual way, it wouldn't work.
My guess is that it's not a big issue, in part because nobody has
noticed, but perhaps I'm wrong. I was hoping the fbdev guys would know
better.
