Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.13.0-4 Severity: important I currently have a bleeding-edge kernel from one of the wireless repositories installed in order to try to deal with another bug. I previously didn't have any problem using that kernel, but after upgrading to the latest Intel driver, the next time I booted I no longer had a working X. The display went blank and stayed that way, though the backlight stayed on. I also could not VT switch back to a text console.
I rebooted into single-user mode, and captured the log file, included below where Xorg.0.log would normally appear. It looks like the intel driver no longer decided it can drive my graphics card. Given that the most recent version of the driver changed the probe logic, that could make sense. As far as I know, I *think* this kernel I built has KMS support; I've attached the kernel config file (produced by "make localmodconfig"), in case it lacks something important that the Intel driver requires. *Something* must have gone wrong, because if I boot into the older kernel then X comes up just fine. In any case, if the Intel driver somehow decided that it couldn't drive my video card because it didn't think it had modesetting, that still shouldn't have wedged my system by refusing to fail or VT switch, or bring up the usual dialog for when X keeps failing.
