Created attachment 94321 [details] Image of screen corruption I have an Intel graphics contoller, $ lspci |grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Inter Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) I am using kms/drm. On older kernels (e.g. 3.6) during startup, kms would be enable and it would switch to the high resolution consols (later, X could also ue the graphics contoller correctly). On newer kernels (e.g. 3.7 and 3.8) I observed the corruption (see attached image) when kms was enabled. Other than the screen corruption in both the text console and X, everything worked fine. I used git bisect to narrow down the problem to commit edef7e685da05c13cce50c0126189c80fe2c8f71
