Description holger 2012-10-10 19:42:14 UTC

I have an Acer Aspire S3 laptop (Ivybridge i7).

1.) insmod i915
2.) On boot and the screen starts to flicker
3.) Once GDM starts the color is wrong and the screen is shifted.
4.) After suspend/resume it is fine.

I have reverted the kernel commit: 'c02a29650148f353b0fc86b7eba3f99ecafd23dd' and it is fixing the flickering for me.

    drm/i915: use adjusted_mode instead of mode for checking the 6bpc force flag

This commit is marked for backporting to stable kernels and should show up there in one of the next releases. Since all other regressions due to the commit you cite have been fixed by this I'll close this one, thanks for reporting.

If you issue is not fixed, please reopen and attach complete dmesg with drm.debug=0xe added to your kernel cmdline.
