Patches welcome, or hell.. revert the whole rewrite if SnB working
by accident is that important to you.
Given that my laptop (Sandy Bridge) is affected as well, it is indeed
unfortunate when you update
Haiku and then after reboot the VESA driver greets you with wrong screen
resolution. I did find it
quite important to have correct aspect ratio and such.
No-one here is questioning the worth of a driver rework which improves the
code structure. I'm
pretty sure that Adrien's comment about a revert was meaning only a temporary
revert, until the new
driver is ready to handle all the hardware which worked with the old one, in
case that will take a
while longer. So this is really not about throwing your work away, just
giving it more time so
people don't have nasty regressions on their Haiku machines.
