Dropping from the list of recent regressions.

Hi, Fabio
    Will you please try the following patch and see whether the issue still exists?

thanks.

The original report matches the machine I used to test this patch, included in 2.6.33-rc8:

commit fd2e8ea597222b8f38ae8948776a61ea7958232e
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

    drm/i915: Increase fb alignment to 64k
    
    An untiled framebuffer must be aligned to 64k. This is normally handled
    by intel_pin_and_fence_fb_obj(), but the intelfb_create() likes to be
    different and do the pinning itself. However, it aligns the buffer
    object incorrectly for pre-i965 chipsets causing a PGTBL_ERR when it is
    installed onto the output.
    
    Fixes:
      KMS error message while initializing modesetting -
      render error detected: EIR: 0x10 [i915]

And a subsequent patch to catch any other case is included in 2.6.35-rc2:

commit ac0c6b5ad3b3b513e1057806d4b7627fcc0ecc27
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Thu May 27 13:18:18 2010 +0100

    drm/i915: Rebind bo if currently bound with incorrect alignment.
    
    Whilst pinning the buffer, check that that its current alignment
    matches the requested alignment. If it does not, rebind.
    
    This should clear up any final render errors whilst resuming,
    for reference:
