Re: [BUG][2.6.7+(or eariler)] Switching from LCD to external video w/ no external video connected causes deadlock - Regression

[Shawn Starr <shawn.starr@rogers.com>]

switching between LCD, External video modes.

Kernel: 2.6.13-rc5 (merucurial build August 2nd snapshot).

Looks like this bug needs to be reopened again :/
