dmesg is attached

From the dmesg:

[ 1.833195] [drm:drm_pci_agp_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the
agpgart module.

Which is the root-cause preventing i915.ko from loading. Now with 3.7
we /shouldn't/ all that agp crap any longer on snb/ivb, so I'm a bit
confused why it still tries to initialize it. Can you maybe attach
your .config?


Did you mean 3.6 above? I used 3.6.2? If I'm using the right kernel I will apply the patch and try. Let me know.

Also, we need to employ some dirty runtime tricks to no longer require
agp on newer chips, since we still need to keep it around for
backwards-compat with old userspace on old chips. Can you please check
with the below diff whether this hack works?

Thanks, Daniel

Doesn't this patch only add a printk? Is that what you want me to do?
