10 I'm pretty unsure, but reverting to a stable version is at least worth
11 a try.

13 BTW: The drm drivers are developed out of tree, AFAIK. I don't really
14 know how good they're currently in sync. Gentoo has the "x11-drm"
15 ebuild for the out-of-tree drivers.

21 Don't. You did understand that there doesn't seem to be any indication
22 in what you posted here? So why even bother wasting even more peoples'
23 bandwith? Examine the Xorg log file yourself, especially regarding
24 warnings and errors. If it doesn't contain any, you just need to tell
25 what card and driver you're using. On LKML, the .config /might/ be
26 interesting.
27
28 If you feel that it is absolutely necessary to make Xorg.0.log
29 and .config available, put them online on some kind of webspace. As a
30 rule of thumb: Don't attach large files to mails to mailing lists.
