HD4000 problems

2013-05-21 Thread Jean Lucas
I've an (Intel) HD4000 and from the point that inteldrm was added to current, X 
freezes on launch, and have to SSH in to reboot nicely. Read a post with a 
similar problem; reducing video memory to 128 MB was the trick to have X start 
on current.

I'm running yesterdays (20th May) -current, on a Lenovo Yoga 13, and there is 
no option for video memory in the BIOS. For 5.3 release however, X starts when 
I disable DPTF ( Intel dynamic platform  thermal framework). 5.2 release 
worked fine with this enabled.

Question: is there a kernel option to reduce video memory used by the OS to see 
if the workaround is valid?

Back to the point, X -configure returns a Segmentation fault 0x28, and when 
just running startx, Xorg.0.log reveals Output LVDS1 has no monitor section. 
(Note: 5.2  5.3 release returned same segfault, though X worked flawlessly 
with startx)

A few snapshots back, X would start after booting single-user and rebooting, 
though failure-success rate was around 4:1. When it would start, running 
xbacklight would freeze X again. Also idling too long would cause X to freeze.

Files attached: X -configure and startx logs, and pcidump

Best,
Jean

Well sending an archive to misc is just silly...
