Still with us on -rc6, nasty, reproducible, no clues on what can be.

VC switch locks or delay the systems minutes, resuming from suspend locks
hard the machine.

2.6.28-rc is unusable here.

Jesse, any hints? My suspicion that it can be the same thing happened with
bug 10620 is wrong? (It was a very similar error about vblank...)

Just added to the bug, it looks like a DUP of an issue Keith just fixed last week (now to make sure the patch makes it upstream quickly).

I can confirm that, with the patch from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2008-November/000614.html applied on top of current git head (rejected hunk in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/915_irq.c due to the additional dev_priv->irq_mask_reg = ~0; in git between the removed lines, I kept it) I can suspend/resume and do a VC switch again.

Big thanks!

Bernhard
