Still see this error with -rc5. But I guess this is very likely an ACPI/BIOS error. I have an Acer 1810T (1410T in US of A) with BIOS version 3302. Can someone with the same hardware but different (i.e. newer BIOS version - version 3303) confirm this bug? When the flickering occurs, switching VTs back and forth makes the problem go away! greets thomas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
