Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, as a colleague told me, there is a warning on the German S.u.s.e website (http://www.suse.de) that on some laptops with Trident Cyber 9385 chipsets the use of XFree might cause permanent damage to the TFT-display. There is no further explanation of what kind of damage or what's the reason for this. Since XFree is used by FreeBSD too, I think this might be of interest for this mailing list. Looking around on other websites including www.xfree.org I could not find any other hint that this problem exists at all. So my question is: Does anybody know whether there is a problem at all and what's happening in these systems? If yes, does this affect only the 9385 chipset or are other Trident chipsets also in danger? Any other comments? Regards Ralf P.S.: I would greatly appreciate a private copy of every response since I'm not subscribed to freebsd-mobile. Thanks!
