Hi, 
	Will you please open a new bug  on
bugs.freedesktop.org(Product=xorg, component = driver/intel) and attach
the following info:
    1. add the boot option of "drm.debug=0x06" and attach the output of
dmesg.
    2. attach the output of intel_reg_dumper  
    3. add the "modedebug" option in xorg.conf and attach the output of
Xorg.0.log ( Option "modedebug" "enabled")
 

thanks.
