I see this problem too on a G45 machine. The dmesg output continues forever

Difference here is that I am unable to run X at all. Last lines in Xorg.0.log are
(II) intel(0): [DRI2] Setup complete
(**) intel(0): Tiling enabled
(**) intel(0): SwapBuffers wait enabled
(==) intel(0): VideoRam: 262144 KB
(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers.

The screen stays blank.
