That's done it. With all three patches applied, X and KDE are starting now. 
Thanks for your work on this.

A couple of points though.

1. The latest patch applied but the following warning was spat out:

patching file drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_irq.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1288 (offset -5 lines).

I guess we may be working with slightly different versions of the source.

2. The kernel log now contains the following:

Is this likely to be related the the irq issues your patch addressed or is it a 
separate thing that I should report separately?

Thanks again.

Chris
