> Jordan, I am there to help to resolve this issue. Just let me know all the information that you need (outputs, register info, config files, etc). I am not an expert in debugging kernel level stuff therefore I need to know what I should be sending you guys.
Step 1 is to try a kernel from GIT HEAD.
Step 2 is to send us the complete dmesg output. What BIOS are you using?
Step 3 is to send us the fbset information from a broken system
step 4 is to tell us what your monitor thinks it is driving (there is usually
a information button that says what the current xres yres and refresh is).
Step 5 is to compile up the the MSR tools from hpa
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cpu/msr-tools/
And connect via serial or net to the system when it is broken and
send the value of MSR 0x4C000015.
Step 6 is to send the complete output of
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/resource
