(In reply to comment #14) > Does reverting 832eafaf34ff7d0348fe701e417900c6cf1f5656 help? no, this did not help either. just to make sure i did this correctly. i got the git from here --> git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git and then i ran: git revert 832eafaf34ff7d0348fe701e417900c6cf1f5656 it said that it did it... after updating the kernel, i still saw that message about: drm:module has bad taint, not creating trace events
