[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] 770 display failure workaround

[From: Philippe Laporte]

Hi,
     I'm not quite sure why you adopt such an antagonistic attitude.

I would bet you 1000 Euros, and I am not rich, that the Nokia kernel 
team has a workaround patch.

Even though my grand plan may be evasive to some, it should be obvious 
thta I am trying tyo pressure Nokia into allocating time to provide the 
code for the patch.

The reason for not having it in the device: you are convinced that if any reason would exist, you would be personaly aware of it?

The LCD hasn't "failed". The reference here is http://www.maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot
