I'll put in a "me too" on this one. I'm running Debian Sid. I upgraded 
to the Intel 2.0 driver, and so far:
 - Xinerama does not work (causes segfault in the X server)
 - I can't use the panel integrated into my laptop (ie, the LFP 
connected via LVDS does not work)
 - When I connect a 17" LCD to my laptop, it works at native res 
(woohoo!) but for unknown reasons only 1024x768 of it is usable for 
programs (I'm using ratpoison, and the remainder of the screen is the 
usual X stipple pattern)
 - When DPMS engages, it shuts down the external CRT like it should; 
however, when I create X activity to restore the display, the display 
comes back up (backlight fires up; display's getting signal), but the 
display is black. Switching to console and back fixes this.

I'm using a Panasonic Toughbook CF-R1.

I've attached the video BIOS for my laptop.

Gilles, can you confirm similar broken behavior with your setup?

Thanks,

David Bronaugh
