re-spun patch of #29389
Interesting. Since 29389#c1 also mentions slow-work threads, I must say that I have noticed kslowd001 showing up high in top (with 2.6.35). So far I had attributed that to NFS. Anyway, the patch wouldn't apply cleanly, so I'm attaching a new version (against v2.6.36-rc2-237-gd4348c6). I'm now running the kernel with the patch, but without any additional command-line options.
I'm still seeing EDID messages getting logged, but so far no blink or output reset has occurred. I'll keep running this until the display fails again, then I'll boot with the option. One question though, which is the correct commandline option: radeon.drm_kms_helper.poll=0 or drm_kms_helper.poll=0?
