Testing new i915 driver (rev. 0f67240) - still blank screen

[Stefan Wendler]

Hi Jean-Sébastien,

thx for the reply. You guys are doing great work (I cannot say this often enough)
and I hope some of my mothly BSD Foundation donation is payed to you ... ;)

As for the code ... I have the feeling that it might already work. With X11 for example I have to 
set the BusID. Otherwise the system talks to the nvidia cripple which has no outputs.
I can imagine that this might be the case for the kms driver, too? 

Do you know if there is a device hint/loader option where I can set the pci bus to use for video output?
Or shouldn't this matter anyway?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Masachika and Stefan!

I wanted to let you know I read your regular bug reports. I wrote them
on the wiki so they don't get lost. I still had no time to investigate them.

I would like to review the entire patch one last time and post it here
so we fix regressions on already supported hardware. Then I would like
to commit the patch to HEAD before we actually work on fixing bugs with
Haswell.

For this last part, we may want to update DRM to Linux 3.9 as it brings
several Haswell and Valley View improvements. It will be way easier to
do than the current update as the diff with Linux will be small.

Please stay tuned and continue to send reports, you are helping actually!
