Before you do a bisect, can you try the drm-intel-fixes branch from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel or a bit more risky, latest
upstream git? That contains a completely rewritten modeset code, which
might fix this already. To fix the breakage on 3.6 I guess we need a
bisect - at least I don't have any idea off-hand what could have gone
wrong here.

Thanks, Daniel
