| |
Hi.
Trying 2.6.32-rc4 on my Toshiba R200 laptop running Debian Squeeze leads to a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left when X starts. If startup in such a way that X isn't automatically started the console is fine, but starting X manually still leads to the hang. The machine seems unresponsive at this point - I can't switch to a normal console and the laptop fan comes on in a manner that suggests the CPU is chugging away.
2.6.31.4 works fine.
X versions are as per up-to-date Squeeze - Xorg 7.4 with Intel 2.9.0.
I tried without VGA_ARB as that seemed to be the largest related change that might affect X but not the console, but it didn't make a difference.
dmesg from non X boot, Kernel config and lspci -vv output at:

I don't really have time at present to get involved in a full bisect, but I can potentially try over the weekend if there's nothing more obvious to try first.
