I have here a Samsung P30 (first Centrino generation) with a Radeon 9200 |
| 20 |
and radeon driver in KMS mode, Kernel 3.10.11. Unblanking works normal. |
| 21 |
I [br]arely use that machine, only keep it up to date from time to time |
| 22 |
in case I may need it in lieu of my normal laptop. So its setup is |
| 23 |
fairly default stage3. |
