Hi,

I still have this issue with next-20130821 and "Linux v3.11-rc6 plus
drm-intel-nightly on top"
Any new development on this?
Patches?

Currently, I have two workarounds:

[1] Revert this commit:

commit 5456fe3882812aba251886e36fe55bfefb8e8829
"drm/i915: Allocate LLC ringbuffers from stolen"

[2] Stop and start lightdm session manually

...switch to a VT and do a stop/start lightdm.

Any help appreciated.

BTW, I switched my Linux/X graphics stack to Mesa v9.2-rc1 and
Intel-DDX v2.21.14-55-ged40a7c (LibDRM is still v2.4.46).

Thanks.

P.S.: The suspend/resume problem which I saw parallelly on former
-next releases is gone.
