Heading the warnings in the menuconfig I did try and ensure I have all
the up to date parts of user-space. With KMS enabled GDM starts up but
then corrupts the display with vertical lines. Disabling the kernel
config and everything starts up fine, UXA acceleration seems OK and
the speed of compiz is finally back up to ~60fps thanks to the A17
fix.
Am I missing another bit of user space for KMS to work properly?
I am seeing a:
[ 6.751092] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000]
code: modprobe/3078
[ 6.751100] caller is smp_call_function_many+0x29/0x1bd
[ 6.751103] Pid: 3078, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.30-rc2-ajb #56
But I think it's unrelated to any X woes. Shall detail in another message.

hm, are you using the xf86-video-intel git-branch "2.7"? if i use that,
i need a kernel fix queued in eanholts for-linus git-tree or else i
also get unusable X.
i assumed that this was because of some not-yet-released fixes
on the 2.7-branch which will get released as soon as erics queue is
merged? but i didn't double check ... maybe the released version is
also broken in this regard for me....

Apparently I was missing a key bit and had to enable fbdev from the
command line:
kernel /kernel-2.6-drm root=/dev/sda2
video=intelfb:mode=1440x900-32@75,accel,hwcursor
However I still saw the same corruption kick in when GDM started. I
couldn't switch mode either which kinda defeated the point.

No, I'm using the actual released 2.7.0 driver (as built via a simple
Gentoo ebuild)

I tried again with the latest drm-intel kernel git tree @

drm/i915: Enable ASLE if present
The changes to opregion initialisation order meant that the ASLE setup
code might not be run at the correct time. Ensure that the interrupts are
set up.

The above seems to indicate that you have some FB drivers built into
your kernel; that will likely fail in weird ways. Try disabling all
the FB drivers, but keep CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE enabled. Then when
you load the i915 driver you should get a nice console.

Ahh, I was under the (mistaken) impression that the kernel
frame-buffer drivers where linked to the console frame buffer driver
and needed for it to work well. Disabling them all and I do indeed get
a lovely framebuffer console on boot up but still the same corruption
when GDM starts. I'm also still not able to switch back to the console
like I can with KMS disabled.
I've attached my .config, a dump of the dmesg of the failing case and
a broken and working Xorg.log (working being no KMS and the Linus tree
rather than the intel-drm tree, although I have tested the Linus tree
fails with KMS enabled in the same way).

Ok so you're getting a good console, that's a start. :)
This really sounds like one of the tiling related issues that should be
fixed now, but if you're on the latest bits...
Can you try setting the tiling option to false in your xorg.conf?
Also, please file a bug for this at bugs.freedesktop.org with your X
log & dmesg from your latest config; you can just assign it to me.
Thanks,

This is fixed with Kernel 2.6.30-rc3-git6 for me, so you might try this
one.

I don't think this is the same issue I'm seeing so I shall file another bug

Less corruption, still crashes when X starts.
