It also seems to fix other bugs when enabling LVS as referenced in the freedesktop link. My only real concern is possible regressions on chipsets other than the one tested. What kind of testing has been run on this fix? Colin

So you'll need to send the patch to stable@vger.kernel.org to ask it to be included on stables.

But I do think we need to confirm an older system with this, and several affected ones to confirm there is no regression potential on this. From the description in the bug, this is ultimatly needed for linux-lts-quantal in precise. It fixes a flash of white during resume from suspend, so any testing needs to test that part as well as have visual confirmation during boot. I suspect we may be introducing a flash to black in some cases. -apw
