After switching to "Higher Performances" in OS X, I understand what you were explaining to me about having both cards enabled but having corrupted screen only in one case. With that in mind, tweaking the patch can't fix the corruption as we are modifying things on the 9400M but it's the 9600M GT which is responsible for displaying; I suggest opening another bug report for that. I'll continue working on this patch and find how to use 0x100c1c before switching to the 9600M GT. Some side notes about what is wrong with the 9600M GT: - screen corruption when using it to drive the display - interrupt 0x04000000 + lockup when starting X with acceleration on for 9400M and 9600M GT, and the 9400M is driving the screen - when powering it down using vgaswitcheroo: * if accel isn't enabled: E[ PDISP][0000:02:00.0][0xc000887d][ffff880137b94400] fini: 0x490e0008 E[ PDISP][0000:02:00.0][0xc000887d][ffff880137b94400] failed suspend, -16 * if accel is enabled: flush timeout + (interrupt 0x04000000 iirc) + lockup</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
