Re: X garbled after lid shut/open on Dell Inspiron 4150

Kevin,

Thank you very much for the workaround.  It does the trick:

1) Use CTRL-ALT-F1 to go to alternative console mode,
2) Close the lid and open it up again,
3) Use CTRL-ATL-F7 to return to the X window.

Now the question is why we don't have this problem running
Windows XP.  Is the problem with the Radeon M7 driver under
XFree86?  Or the problem is with BIOS?  If it's the later,
I might bug Dell for a fix.

Have a wonderful day.
