Already done, thanks to a patch from Harald and some refactoring.
While doing this, I encountered a strange thing. One of my FreeRunners does
not recover from a BLANK ioctl anymore. The backlight turns on but the
display does not show any pixels. I have to reboot to make it work again.
Could that be connected to that infamous WSOD resume bug?
Cheers,
Mickey.
