Thank you. If there will be no new releases of those packages within
a couple weeks it might be better to temporarily add those checks back
for gen 2 only, I think. Otherwise there will be a period where people
who update regularly will have screen corruption, with no easy way of
fixing it. I think this would avoid a few unnecessary bugreports. The
check can be removed in 2.6.39-rc1, if you want I'll remind you about
it too.

Greetings,

Indan
