syslog

Starting X causes a kernel crash, which leaves the computer unresponsive.
The relevant part of syslog is attached.

I used the debian package xserver-xorg-video-intel, version 2:2.99.917-2 (testing).

(With version 2:2.21.15-2+b2 there is no crash, but moving windows flicker
and most movieplayers consume 200% CPU.)

Since a couple of days the crash is easily reproducible.
Before that X worked fine for a several weeks. (But version 2:2.21.15-2+b2 of xserver-xorg-video-intel still had the same problem.)

Regards,

Martin

We're in the process of migrating all drm/i915 bugs to freedesktop.org bugzilla. Please file a new bug at [1], preferrably with a more complete dmesg including information leading to the crash. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
