Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

Before the recent update to kernel 3.13.4-1 to accommodate modular keyboard support, I didn't have any error messages printing at boot time. Now drm is complaining:

dmesg | grep drm
[    0.651849] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

I'm running on an ASUS UX31E, so I have i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 in my kernel line.

Re: Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

I just upgraded to kernel 3.13.5-1, and I even made sure to upgrade my BIOS from version 211 to the newest, version 214 (from ASUS's official site: asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX31E/#support)

The problem persists. Any ideas?

Re: Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

I am running

3.13.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Feb 23 00:25:24 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

on a UX31A
I am getting the message at boot time

[drm:intel_dp_start_link_train] *ERROR* too many voltage retries, give up

But the machine starts up fine. I don't know if this errromessage has any ill effects on the machine?

Regards,

Theo

I also get several

```````
[drm:intel_dp_start_link_train] *ERROR* too many full retries, give up
```````

But I can’t see any problem so far on a Dell XPS 13.

on Asus UX32V.

Re: Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

Are these upgrades from 3.12 or 3.13.3?

Re: Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

I'm pretty sure my original upgrade was from 3.12.

I just upgraded to 3.13.6 today, and now I'm experiencing crashing sometimes when xscreensaver starts (it was while watching a youtube video; my window manager is XMonad, which also crashed; I killed X from another tty and it automatically came back to my lightdm login). This crashing was happening pre-3.12 as well, but went away with 3.12 and also wasn't there with 3.13.{4,5}.

My guess is the xf86-video-intel package sucks and isn't keeping up with changes to the kernel.

Re: Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

It might be helpful to note as well that since the kernel upgrade to 3.13, when lightdm is loading I see a full blue screen flash for a split second, when before it was just black.

Same here on UX31A with xf86-video-intel-git from AUR

Re: Upgrade to 3.13.4-1 causes drm error message

There is the linux-lts312 if you want to try running the 3.12 kernel and keep the [core] kernel at 3.13.

However, something tells me a git bisect between 3.12 and 3.13 might tell us what is going on, so upstream can fix it...
