[RESEND] [PATCH] Fix a bug in intelfb initialization.

Dear hackers,


I sent this message already some time ago but probably not to the
correct people. (Now I took the one from MAINTAINERS and the ones from
this message [1].)


Bests,

Paul

When changing video timing dynamically via fbset the screen sporadically
is rendered black.

With the attached fix which disables VCO prior to timing register
change the problem disappears.

I had a look at the Xserver register setup code. Here the VCO is
disabled in the same way [1].

This patch is taken from vga-sync-field version 0.0.11 [2][3].
