My use is biased, I never use the text mode. so I don't miss it. I'm not sure if you're running the latest version then. this looks like you machine panics while running X. Prior to my commit do xf86-video-intel of jan 31, attempts to use DRI for OpenGL would panic the kernel and leave your machine in a state similar to the one you describe. With DRI disabled, I can't trigger the panic from normal X use (of course the cause of the panic should be fixed in the kernel too, but I didn't have time to figure this out). -- Matthieu Herrb
