From 5b600464f0514efd49d24182daf0e9d62cf8bb8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 13:38:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] savagefb: Fix black screen on load in Savage IX This is a hack that seems to kick start the 2D engine of the Savage IX in some Toshiba laptops. Without this, the laptop starts with a black screen and occasionally crashes X.
