to reproduce: - start ubuntu 15.04 and log in - use CTRL+AL+F2 to switch to TTY2. (or a different TTY) - Watch the screen glitch: http://youtu.be/MqPi5dURZ8s - sometimes it's so bad it will not recover and the computer needs to be forcefully rebooted. I should note this is on the newest generation Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen 3) I have had experienced this crash with Kernel 3.17, 3.19 and 4.0RC5 Also filed this bug with ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1436590 dmesg output with 4.0RC5 Kernel: [ 372.015529] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 372.015559] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 936 at /home/kernel/COD/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:1260 assert_plane.constprop.85+0x7a/0xb0 [i915]() [ 372.015560] plane A assertion failure (expected on, current off) [ 372.015576] Modules linked in: ctr ccm binfmt_misc rfcomm bnep nls_iso8859_1 arc4 snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_generic snd_hda_codec_hdmi intel_rapl iosf_mbi x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel snd_hda_intel snd_hda_controller snd_hda_codec kvm uvcvideo snd_hwdep snd_pcm videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops iwlmvm snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event videobuf2_core snd_rawmidi v4l2_common mac80211 videodev media snd_seq btusb joydev iwlwifi thinkpad_acpi serio_raw bluetooth snd_seq_device cfg80211 nvram snd_timer snd soundcore mac_hid mei_me lpc_ich shpchp mei parport_pc ppdev lp parport autofs4 dm_crypt crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel aes_x86_64 lrw gf128mul glue_helper ablk_helper cryptd psmouse i915 ahci libahci e1000e ptp i2c_algo_bit pps_core [ 372.015578] drm_kms_helper drm wmi video [ 372.015580] CPU: 1 PID: 936 Comm: Xorg Tainted: G W 4.0.0-040000rc5-generic #201503230035 [ 372.015580] Hardware name: LENOVO 20BSCTO1WW/20BSCTO1WW, BIOS N14ET25W (1.03 ) 12/01/2014 [ 372.015582] 00000000000004ec ffff8802424cb6c8 ffffffff817dfeea 000000000000363c [ 372.015583] ffff8802424cb718 ffff8802424cb708 ffffffff810791b7 ffff88024dc8e340 [ 372.015584] 0000000000000000 ffff88023f510000 ffff880243e54800 ffff88023f510000 [ 372.015585] Call Trace: [ 372.015588] [<ffffffff817dfeea>] dump_stack+0x45/0x57 [ 372.015592] [<ffffffff810791b7>] warn_slowpath_common+0x97/0xe0 [ 372.015593] [<ffffffff810792b6>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [ 372.015610] [<ffffffffc022e66a>] assert_plane.constprop.85+0x7a/0xb0 [i915] [ 372.015624] [<ffffffffc0239abe>] hsw_disable_ips+0x5e/0x1b0 [i915] [ 372.015637] [<ffffffffc0239e58>] intel_crtc_disable_planes+0x48/0x150 [i915] [ 372.015649] [<ffffffffc023a495>] haswell_crtc_disable+0x55/0x2d0 [i915] [ 372.015660] [<ffffffffc023ac18>] __intel_set_mode+0x1b8/0x3e0 [i915] [ 372.015676] [<ffffffffc023e778>] intel_crtc_set_config+0x408/0x4f0 [i915] [ 372.015689] [<ffffffffc00d4427>] ?
