I went ahead and bisected the problem, which was added between -rc1 and -rc2. The end result is this: 32aad86fe88e7323d4fc5e9e423abcee0d55a03d is the first bad commit commit 32aad86fe88e7323d4fc5e9e423abcee0d55a03d Author: Chris Wilson Date: Wed Aug 4 13:50:25 2010 +0100 drm/i915/sdvo: Propagate errors from reading/writing control bus. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt I don't know the driver or the hardware and can't begin to guess what went wrong in that patch, but, hopefully, the information is useful to somebody. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help track this down.
