Hello Dave:

A couple of weeks ago, Carsten Emde helped me fix a display issue on
my Acer Aspire 5732Z that was similar to the problem on the 5734Z.
(Please see the email fragment below.) I don't know if he submitted a
patch, but I was wondering if this fix would be in place for Linux
3.6. I've attached a patch file that was made against
git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel.

Thank you,

Michael

This is the patch:

Please let me know, whether a kernel with this patch still requires
manual setpci hassle or whether the problem is now fixed.
