[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2733] i915 drm issue rendering xserver unusable

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #2733 has been updated by masu.

Subject changed from iwn firmware error rendering xserver unusable to i915 drm issue rendering xserver unusable

The firmware error does not seem anything to do with the X server freeze.

Found the X server error to be introduced with the following commit:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commit/d1c259eee6a290aadce1c78a746e131034aba76a

Please can somebody have a look into this who knows i915 drm internals?

Regards
Matthias

Hi,

a firmware error of the wifi nic occurrs right after drm is started when starting xserver on my machine.
The nic is automatically reset afterwards and drm becomes initialized.

But then during the X session the nic error occurrs again resulting in an unsuccessful restart that causes also drm to fail which in effect leaves the X console unresponsive.
Strangely this effect appears when browsing the Internet and not when e.g., installing packages from remote locations that also generates network traffic over the wifi nic.

Does someone has a Lenovo X61 and experiences the same problems?

An excerpt from /var/log/messages is attached.

Regards
Matthias
