Daniel, others,
last Friday, I tried drm-intel-nightly on an IBM R31 Thinkpad. This also
comes with a 835GM chipset (same as the Fujitsu), but the
display is connected via LVDS and not via the NS2501 DVO.
*) Panning also causes the flicker we know already. Interestingly,
kernel 3.2.0-4 *does not* cause this flicker, it only flickers on the
external
screen, but not internally.
Is there any way to read the i915 registers from the working 3.2.0-4
panning and compare that to what the drm-nightly kernel installs?
Something must be different.
*) If I connect an external monitor *before* turning the machine on, X
creates a segfault. On this machine, no Xorg.conf exists and it is up to
X to
configure the screens correctly:

Segmentation fault at address 0x84
Then, both screens go black and I can only reboot the machine.
*) If I connect the external monitor *after* the kernel loaded the i915
module, X works, but I get no display on the external monitor:
xrandr finds the monitor, though:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 2048 x 2048
LVDS1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
but trying to enable it with any type of command (e.g. xrandr --output
VGA1 --auto or xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024) just returns an
error:
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA1
I'm not sure what xrandr is trying to say here.
Greetings,
Thomas
