So, for all intents and purposes, drm infrastructure seems unavoidably (neither dri disable nor libdrm upgrade helps) affected. Does anyone know which change caused that issue? (I'm asking because bisect here would be relatively painful).
So 3.12-rc2 works. Does 3.13 work? Is this a regression in the current 3.14 rc only, or did it happen already in the previous release?
Hmm, given that Mikulas in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/26/537 offered a diff of linux-3.13.5 files, it truly seems (shock! ack! noo!) that that indeed may have been a regression at <= 3.13 proper even (which may pose interesting questions about the level of testing coverage we still enjoy [not!?] in this hardware area).
Oh well, seems I'll have to prepare/build 3.13 now...
It's > 15 year old hardware, so yes I believe we have close to 0 testing coverage on it outside of distros,
I'm not even sure I have one anymore, I might be able to test an MGA in one box.
