Well, I'll file a bug on bugs.freedesktop.org, but if you don't think
it's a kernel regression then I'll wait until the final release of
2.6.25 comes out (unless you _really_ need me to file it sooner).
I still think it's somehow related to something that changed in the
kernel from v24 to v25 because I've never had it happen with a kernel
version less that 2.6.25. You say it's a timing issue; I've searched and
found two things that have changed in v25: Preemptive RCU and I/O Port
Delay.
I've enabled both preemptive RCU and no I/O port delay. I've recompiled
with both disabled and found that the blank screen _still_ happens. So,
I'm figuring that _maybe_ by adding these options the kernel developers
needed to change something that exposes something related to the intel
X.org driver that's no longer necessarily true
(or something like that - do you get what I'm trying to say).
This is what I have in my config:
By the way is the intel driver that you work on the same that's enabled by:
Or is there another X.org intel driver? And if so how are they
(agp/drm/X.org) related?
