Hi,
I'm not subscribed, so please cc me on any reply,
I've built and installed the latest -git kernel (pulled this morning) and X fails to start. I see the grey X background and, for a split second, what looks like the kdm login dialogue box appears before disappearing again. Then the screen goes black and the monitor goes into power saving made. I can't access consoles with Alt-Fn - the machine is effectively locked and can be rcovered only by powering off and then on again.
The only diagnostics I can find in the logs is at the end of/var/log/kernel:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log appears not to have been written to because it contains what appears to be only random data rather than the usual text.
The graphics-related lspci output shows:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGAcontroller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device d000 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at e1000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at e000 [size=8] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features

All works fine with 2.6.37 .
Please let me know if any additional diagnostics are needed or if you want any patches testing.
Thanks in advance
Chris
