dmesg output

After booting with KMS enabled my laptop screen turns black as soon as X starts, while my external screen continues to work. The desktop still expands to both screens. If I disconnect the external monitor everything runs smooth, I can even connect the monitor afterwars and enable it through xrandr. But the laptop screen turns black again when I run glxgears through Gallium. I can turn the black screen off and on through xrandr, but it stays black.

With KMS disabled everything works fine. I rebuild my graphic stack from git but the problem remained. The error first occured months ago, so I disabled KMS. Today I tried it again and the error is still there.
