I tried booting with kernel 3.13.11.11 (AFAIK trusty uses kernel 3.13 at least) form http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and the problems are the same, the only message I don't get in the console is "*ERROR* timed out waiting for panel to power on" but switching to the console is still slow.
Now I'm trying with kernel 3.17.1 and no difference either... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393085 Title: Performance degraded and video glitches with i915 after upgrade to utopic Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading from trusty to utopic, I noticed a performance degradation in the video performance. In particular the flash plugin video (like youtube) starts OK but it degrades after a couple of seconds when in full screen, looking as if it was doing something like 10~15 fps with videos that worked fine before. When switching to windowed more again, the video goes more smoothly but the seek bar blinks and other parts of the video present some glitches. Also when switching from X to a console, via Ctrl-Alt-F1 for example, it takes like 2 seconds to get the console, and I see this message in the console: [ 184.436477] [drm:intel_enable_lvds] *ERROR* timed out waiting for panel to power on When switching back to X is fast as usual, but when switching back to the console, again 2 seconds delay and the message. Other weird looking messages are found in dmesg: [ 4.673834] [drm] GMBUS [i915 gmbus panel] timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 3 [...] [ 4.732400] [drm] Wrong MCH_SSKPD value: 0x16040307 [ 4.732404] [drm] This can cause pipe underruns and display issues. [ 4.732406] [drm] Please upgrade your BIOS to fix this. Unfortunately there is no BIOS update for my notebook (Toshiba Z830). I've search for all those errors without any significant results.
