Tomas: It's probably best to open a new bug for it, however please
make sure it includes at least the following:
Can you confirm exactly what your setup is:
Is this under KVM - if so what host and what video card config
What image exactly did you use as the install?
Were you using luks?

Steve, that is not correct. Actually the cirrus driver + modeset X
driver is the only way not to have X crash as soon as unity starts.
Though I must admit that it would at least put the users of KVM and Xen
into the same pain.

Stefan, can we please just get the cirrus drm driver disabled in the
quantal kernel until this is resolved? Currently it adds nothing but
bugs.

@Dmitrijs, I don't have it in a PPA or elsewhere right now because I am
not really happy with the current results. Due to the delay between
releasing and reacquiring the framebuffer, X rarely gets up and I saw
the VTs be stuck, too (had to ssh in and restart lightdm). The best
work-around right now
@ Stefan is there a PPA where I can test the patch? That would be great,
as I am one of the affected people.

So asking around, grub (even in Precise) passes mode 0x70 (which happens
to be efifb) as a generic framebuffer setup and the usage of efifb is
more in a generic way than EFI. For real hw grub uses an internal VBE
driver. The reason we never had any issues was that without the cirrus
DRM driver efif
Question is why is a kvm VM considered an EFI capable system (gfx). This
sounded to be only MAC. Of course as a secondary issue we have the
unsolved problem of replacing a framebuffer device which is not (rumors
speak of "issues") synchronizing the release and re-acquiring of
resources.

You re
The efifb initialization by grub is deliberate, to try to provide
flicker-free boot on efi-capable systems.

Not sure this is really meant to be, but it seems the efifb is
initialized because grub passes this VGA type to the kernel. When I
uncomment the line in /etc/default/grub that sets GRUB_TERMINAL=console,
then the efifb driver is not loaded. There is a early error message that

It really is the problem of remove_conflicting_framebuffers() returning
before the removed fb's driver has released its resources. As it is
visible below efifb seems to take quite a while (sometimes?).

Still not exactly sure how this races, though some things are a bit odd here.
Generally the approach to replace the EFI FB console looks like what i915 would

No, this has *nothing* to do with X. This is breaking the console way
before X would ever start - it's preventing *plymouth* from running.

Given that KVM is the dominant use case for the cirrus driver, can I suggest
that this be done in the kernel package itself by not building the broken
driver
As a work-around, you may be able to blacklist the cirrus kernel module.

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest

Is this cirrus drm driver new? Perhaps it should be disabled in the
