Description: Today's update in [testing] from the 7.9.99 git snapshot of intel-dri and libgl versions 7.9.99.git20101230 to 7.10 breaks KMS and X on my laptop.

During boot, once it tries to enable to hi-res mode, I just get a blank screen. The system is still functioning underneath apparently, since i can ctrl+alt+del to restart.

Starting with i915.modeset=0 starts up and let me recover to install the .99 packages again, at which point it worked. With 7.10 and no KMS I couldn't start X either (no device found).

you have probably also upgrade to .37 kernel that seems to break your kms mode. that's not a mesa/Xorg issue.

Yes, I'm on .37. But FYI the mesa 7.9.99 snapshot packages work fine with the .37 kernel.

Weirdly, I tried again and this has started working today. No idea what might have changed, sorry. But all seems fine.
