[Bug 605124] [NEW] [965gm] "No screens" on startup: "DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_APERTURE failed: Bad file descriptor"

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I just installed Maverick on a partition yesterday. Sometimes (i.e. 2
out of 5 or 6 times so far) when booting with an external monitor
attached I get a "no screens" error in the log and get xorg in low-
graphics mode. I haven't seen this so far when booting without an
external monitor, but I haven't tried many times yet. I booted with
kernel option drm.debug=0x04 so there should be verbose mode setting
information in the dmesg output.

:0.log says:

(EE) intel(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version.
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
