Created attachment 88074 [details] XOrg log - contains details of the crash after I switch resolutions The new 2.99.905 snapshot intel driver from git crashes on me whenever I attempt to switch to a resolution created via a custom modeline on my System 76 gazp9 laptop. My modelines are specified via an xorg.conf file: Modeline "1600x900" 119.00 1600 1696 1864 2128 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync Modeline "1440x900" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1368x768" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1280x1024" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1280x720" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1024x640" 52.25 1024 1072 1168 1312 640 643 649 665 -hsync +vsync When I log in with 2.99.905 (GDM is always configured to use the system's native resolution) and my cinnamon session is configured to use the native resolution of the LCD, everything works fine. Until I try to switch to a resolution like 1600x900. Then X crashes and produces the output at the end of the attached log file. Prior to trying 2.99.905 I was using this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=db086d02affe5109202dc9ee06c9e728a3ff0f3f That version worked fine. Now I haven't tried all the commit versions, but it doesn't work when I try this one: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=d788b69fdb5ea73b1d283a89e53b2b19eaa90e6e So that narrows down to around 10 different commits. Thanks in advance for the assistance. Also let me take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate the team's work on this driver. The Haswell implementation has really come a long way and your efforts thus far have been most appreciated!
commit 8e44b1f5543f6d36c33c743f1ba2143514f8afbf Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Thu Oct 24 13:05:16 2013 +0100 sna: Fix canonical mode name to correctly use asprintf Whoops. Only the kernel sprintf() accepts NULL as a valid target string, not libc's.

That definitely fixed the issue. Thanks a lot Chris!
