* Nick Bowler -- Tuesday 21 June 2011:
We're at -rc4 now, but it seems that the following patch (drm/i915: add missing intel_enable_plane() call to i9xx_crtc_mode_set()) has not made it in yet?

The i915 driver has been broken since 3.0-rc1 without this fix, which has been available for 3 weeks now.
Keith has suggested a better fix (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/6/560), but for some reason it still hasn't made it into the kernel.
