Dear all,
I run Fedora 12 on my IBM T60 laptop and with the last two kernel
releases (the two 2.6.32 ones) I have a strange problem. All is fine on
the laptop screen. Thought, when I connect the computer to the docking
station the images on the external screen are flickering. To be precise,
the image is stable in a small section located in the center of the
screen, but it is not in all the other parts. The T60 has an ATI graphic
card and I am using the radeon driver provided in the kernel. All works
fine with previous kernels (at the moment I am using the
2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686 release).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Alberto

Have you tested with and without nomodeset?
* cat /proc/cmdline
What video card?
* lspci | grep -i video
What ati drivers?
* rpm -qa | grep -- -ati

xorg driver).
Please report this via bugzilla, and attach dmesg and Xorg.0.log with and without
nomodeset so that the bug is documented.
