Yes it was my mistake, I ought to say *without* 'nomodeset nofb'.

I currently can't understand if this is a kernel or Xorg issue, looks more like a kernel issue. I have provided relevant information in:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15248 Associated kernel bug
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25021 My 'lspci -v'
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25049 My kernel .config
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25047 dmesg
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25048 Xorg output

Please note in last attachment, Xorg output, that Xorg.0.log is not produced because of a hard kernel crash, so on Xorg's side it would be interesting to know how Xorg is causing this hard kernel crash (perhaps by activating DRM code sections?) I have ran Xorg with '-verbose -verbose -verbose -keeptty' but did not get more output on stdout/stderr (since Xorg.0.log generation is not working at all)

Any help is welcome - thanks
