Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Followup-For: Bug #526317
I tried both EXA and UXA and upgraded my kernel to 2.6.29 but the result
is the same: I get blank screen when X starts and I have to kill it with
SIGKILL and reboot to get display and keyboard back.
Downgrading to X server 1.4 and disabling GEM mode in the kernel
resolves the problem.
It seems that the 2.6.29 kernel finally allows tiled allocation, and it
even works when modesetting is disabled.
