Description:

This is a known bug in the current kernel, but I'm reporting it here, because all MacBook Air 4,2
users are probably affected:

Having xf86-video-intel 2.16.0-1 installed, I get the error message seen in the subject.
Full Xorg.log attached.

A workaround is to use fbdev, though:

[root@brief mac_hid]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fbdev.conf
Section "Device"
Driver "fbdev"
Identifier "card0"

EndSection

I see this problem on linux 3.0.6-2 as well as own my own compiled kernel
3.1.0-rc9-ARCH-00064-g65112dc, which is based on archs /proc/config.gz from 3.0.6.

Upstream information:

* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39533



Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

* https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123258

Steps to reproduce:

Type "startx"
   Xorg.0.log-intel (12.8 KiB)
This task depends upon

Nico, since you also have the other 4,2 patches incorporated, could i ask you for a precompiled package of your kernel?
Comment by Nico Schottelius (telmich) - Tuesday, 15 November 2011, 15:57 GMT
Sure, can do. I'll start the build in a few moments and will update this bug as soon as I've uploaded the package.

This should be fixed in linux-3.2 since it integrates the tree mentioned by Nico. I'm running 3.2-rc7-mainline from AUR and it works fine on my MacBook Air 4,2. I initially encountered the issue with 3.1.

Confirmed, this bug is solved with linux-3.2
