Bug detailed description:
-------------------------
There is no display on G45 after drm-intel-next kernel startup. This only happens on G45. It works well on other machines. With bisect and find cfecde435dda78248d6fcdc424bed68d5db6be0b is first bad commit.

    drm/i915: Don't enable pipe/plane/VCO early (wait for DPMS on).

    The existing code handling the DPMS ON event is much more careful to
    ensure that these registers are enabled according to strict sequencing
    requirements. Enabling these early in mode_set simply defeats that.

Reproduce steps:
--------------------
1.change kernel to currently drm-intel-next kernel

Thanks for the bug report.

I've recommended reverting the bisected commit.

Comment 3 Gordon Jin 2010-05-24 18:35:20 UTC 
Removing out of Q2 release, since Q2 release won't use this code.
Comment 4 Chris Wilson 2010-06-07 10:41:25 UTC 
This is now upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16149
Comment 5 Gordon Jin 2010-06-27 22:51:21 UTC 
Patch reverted. Closing.
Comment 6 zhao jian 2010-07-05 00:16:58 UTC 
It is still not picked in drm-intel-next branch now.

Verify detailed description:
-------------------------
With the newest code((drm-intel-next)7b824ec2e5d7d086264ecae51e30e3c5e00cdecc)
on drm-intel-next, 3D demo openarena has executed correctly with display.
By contrast, with the bug code before(
(drm-intel-next)7f8a85698f5c8a981641ec0bdf9926768786db9d), it had no display.
