I think this is the same as bug 754146. There's a fix for the kernel panic in some of the drm-intel-next branches (look for commit 31acbcc408f412d1ba73765b846c38642be553c3).
Note that in my experience DisplayPort is still pretty much broken on the Natty kernel even with this fix applied. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722987 Title: Kernel 2.6.38-4 causes i915 driver to crash with a DisplayPort error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
