I ran apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core yesterday and realised the patched hadn't been applied when I originally posted my Xorg logs.
I saw a update today from your PPA and now I see xserver-xorg-core: Installed: 2:1.13.2-0ubuntu3~lp982889~1 So it has now been applied. I guess this was due to the building problem for amd? It now shows as built successfully. I know you said my error may be slightly different to the OP, but I thought I would post as it may be useful and this time I can see the "drm device not ready (#), sleeping for 20us" messages you mentioned. Mine seems similar to Franck's. I'm also seeing 'setversion 1.4 failed'. It did not boot successfuly though and went to Low Graphics mode. There is a crash report if you want me to upload that as a report. But I don't know if it will just be the same as: bug 1130667 - let me know if you want me to post it ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdrm/+bug/982889/+attachment/3557629/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982889 Title: X trying to start before plymouth has finished using the drm driver Status in “libdrm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: X server fails to start the first time after boot, it works fine when I start it again. Looks like a race condition with intel drm initialization, i guess X tries to start faster than drm driver is initialized so it fails.
