Hi Nick Two things: - Please always include a relevant mailing list, never only send a mail to your maintainer. - All hotplug detection related issues, which commonly result in gfx stalls and busy kworkers should be in 3.10. You can grab the drm-next branch to test the latest code. If the module option doesn't help you, then it's a different bug. Note though that in 3.9 kernels the module option is somewhat broken, so not as effective a workaround.
