Hmm.
The first time I booted this, I just got a black screen on my Haswell desktop when X11 started up. I could ctrl-alt-BS and ctrl-alt-del to reboot the machine, and neither the Xorg.0.log nor the dmesg contained anything interesting.
Did the console come back after ctl-alt-bs? Or was it just a blind reboot? Troubling that it doesn't happen again...
I was about to try to bisect it, but decided to see how repeatable it was, and it didn't happen again. But it also hasn't ever happened before, so I'm a bit worried.
This is with the DP cable, which has made my other Haswell issues go away.
I'm also a bit bummed that hw acceleration of video doesn't seem to work on Haswell, meaning that full-screen is now a jerky mess. I fear that that is user-space libraries/X.org, but I thought I'd mention it in the hope of getting a "oh, it's working for us, you'll get a fix for it soon".
AFAIK we have libva support out there for HSW. The trick is getting your stack to actually use it. Gwenole or Sean may be able to help.
Because my shiny new 65W haswell is really nice and does a "make allmodconfig" in half the time of my old machine, but the GPU side has been something of a step backwards...
Well we definitely don't want that...
