[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#708158: possible fix?

[Charles W Fox]

 This fix has been around in Ubuntu world for a while, and though it never
worked for me before on my laptop when running Ubuntu it (so far -- only
running for 10 mins since) seems to have done the trick on my new Wheezy:

#add the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf:
options drm_kms_helper poll=N

AFAIK the bug may be specific to the Dell Lattitude E5420 or rather some
piece of hardware in it, if you can find out what this is then this line
could be added at install to avoid the problem on those systems.

If I don't send any more mails re this bug then please assume the fix is
still working.
