Hi Martin,

Please open a bug report at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ intel problems
are tracked there. Besides your problem report below, please add Xorg.log
from a working setup (user-mode-setting) and the dmesg with full debugging
(add "drm.debug=15" to your kernel commandline).

See http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html for the details
of what else is needed.

Yours, Daniel
