yes, I know drm code is backported from 2.6.33.* - I just tested
2.6.33.1 to verify the guys done the job forgot nothing :D
unfortunately the joy 2.6.33.1 brought to me is false (crashes too)
* nearly 100% crash / freeze success than "visual effects: none" (set in
no-kms mode, crash in kms)
* than "visual effects: normal" - crashes are less frequent. upon few
successful "appearance" launches, I change to "visual effects: none",
try "appearance" once more and 100% crash expectancy...
* "appearance" is the easiest way to triger crash, but other app
launches also from time to time triger it too
* never crashed in gdm, or switching to vty/back. only than logged in
and launching some app
* I found only these of interest in dmesg (they repeat in all kms boots):
** registered panic notifier
** plymouthd[298]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f6736f85d8b sp 00007fff919086e8
error 6 in libc-2.
* xorg log shows nothing suspicious to me
* the crash leave no trace in logs
* some boots result in kernel panic (see panic.gif), upon trying to
initialize drm (or at least looks to me so)...
* usually I boot with out "splash" and "quiet", but leaving them on -
changes nothing
* usually the first two boot messages are about somethig like "address
space collision". pci address is referring to something "...00:03.0" -
it seems chipset related. never found anything related in logs
this is as informative as I can get. I hope all these crashes left no
permanent damage on my hard disk drive :D
