Radeon Mobility 7500 in a laptop. Apparently, the monitor is connected through

think you could probably use it to fix console blanking for the radeon.

BTW, I am not on the list.
If it's a laptop, it's probably LVDS. I indeed changed the code to retreive
the EDID from BIOS for laptops based on recent XFree driver, though I haven't
updated the 2.5 codebase with that change yet.

Thanks for the URL for the blanking fix.

Ben.
