Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.13.0-4
Severity: important
I currently have a bleeding-edge kernel from one of the wireless
repositories installed in order to try to deal with another bug. I
previously didn't have any problem using that kernel, but after
upgrading to the latest Intel driver, the next time I booted I no longer
had a working X. The display went blank and stayed that way, though the
backlight stayed on. I also could not VT switch back to a text console.
I rebooted into single-user mode, and captured the log file, included
below where Xorg.0.log would normally appear. It looks like the intel
driver no longer decided it can drive my graphics card. Given that the
most recent version of the driver changed the probe logic, that could
make sense.
As far as I know, I *think* this kernel I built has
KMS support; I've attached the kernel config file (produced by
"make localmodconfig"), in case it lacks something important that the
Intel driver requires. *Something* must have gone wrong, because
if I boot into the older kernel then X comes up just fine.
In any case, if the Intel driver somehow decided that it couldn't drive
my video card because it didn't think it had modesetting, that still
shouldn't have wedged my system by refusing to fail or VT switch, or
bring up the usual dialog for when X keeps failing.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
