If I enable KMS I can use dual monitor, but I have those issues: - with KDE's desktop effects enabled I obtain a black screen immediately after KDE loading (kdm works fine, and also a standard xsession works without problems). - with KDE's desktop effects disabled system works fine, but randomly hard freezes (it never worked for more than 30 minutes). When on freeze everything stops, audio goes on infinite loop and to exit from the freeze I have to press the power button until the notebook power off. I've tryed without luck some solutions found on the internet: - using NoAccel or AccelMethod params on xorg.conf, but on Xorg.0.log I read: [ 25.112] (WW) intel(0): Option "NoAccel" is not used - enabling semaphores to i915 module - using a custom /etc/drirc file If I try to turn on KDE's desktop effects after the login, it tells me that some effects can't be enabled. I'll attach kernel .config and every file you require, I'll do every test you ask for, but please, help me...

Created attachment 296427 [details] Kernel .config
Created attachment 296429 [details] Xorg.0.log Actually I'm working with i915.modeset=0
I've also tryed to log kwin's output with: kwin --replace > kwin.log 2>&1 but after the crash the file is still empty
Is it just X that freezes or does the kernel keep running? Can you still get a shell through SSH?
I didn't tested with an ssh shell yet, but I tryed to press the power button once, normally it should get the acpi event and shut down, but nothing happened... I'll test with ssh ASAP
Ok, I tested with SSH, after the freeze the machine is unreachable not only for ssh but also for a simple ping.
Looks like kernel panic happened then. Did you try different kernel versions, e.g. 3.0.6 or 3.2_rc6?
I'm installing sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.13 and sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6 right now.
Actually with sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.13 I had no freezes for more than an hour, but the wifi connection doesn't work. Probably the staging driver brcmsmac isn't good enough on 3.0.13. Now I'm returned to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1.5 to download sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6, hoping that the freeze doesn't stop me (git restarts from the beginning evertytime).
Yesterday evening I was testing at home, where I use WiFi connection and the external monitor is connected via hdmi. Now I'm testing at office, where I use a docking station where audio, video (DVI) and LAN are connected. Yesterday evening, at home, I leaved the pc turned on playing music for more than an hour with both sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.13 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1.5 and no freeze happened. Today, at office, I worked for more than 2 hours with sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.13 and no freeze still happened. So, if I could make an hypothesis, I think the problem is when the docking station's DVI connection is used on sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1.5. I just finished installing sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6, I'll test it ASAP, but app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.1 fails to build against it, so I have those problems: - no wifi on sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.13 - no vmware on sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6 If you know some other test I could do, please, don't hesitate to tell me.
I sang victory too soon, it just freezed using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.13, after 2 and half hours of working. The machine was under heavy load cause of vmware, memory was full and it was swapping. Now I booted with sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6, I'll keep you informed...
It freezed also with sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6, and with this kernel audio doesn't work (alsa sees the card, but no sound can be heard). Now I'm returned to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1.5 and I connected the monitor with a hdmi cable, so I can check if my hypothesis is true.
It freezed also with the hdmi cable... I don't know if it's a problem of some module related to the docking station (maybe dell_wmi) or simply my home tests weren't deep enough. I forgot to say that the freeze with sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6 was some kind of "softer" than other kernel freezes: when Xorg freezed the mouse pointer still moved for some seconds. At this point I don't know what to do...
Debugging kernel panics is a bit complicated. First thing you could do is also report a bug upstream on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ It might be helpful if you can get a dmesg (run: watch "dmesg|tail -n 50" through ssh or something) from after the freeze but when you can still move the mouse pointer. Also be aware that as long as you use vmware proprietary kernel modules, upstream developers will probably reject your bug report.
Actually I removed all modules from "X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers", if freezes stops it means that the problem is inside one of those modules (wmi, dell_wmi, dell_laptop, etc...)
No way, still freezes... I'll try to take a dmesg using sys-kernel/git-sources-3.2_rc6.
I experienced similar problems (running sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1.5) and therefore downgraded to x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.15.0-r1 (= previous stable version on amd64). I can't provide full details, but here is some information that may be helpful. At least it seems reasonable to me to mark x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.17.0-r3 as unstable on amd64. I had crashes both with the "sna" use flag enabled and disabled, and particularly (but not exclusively) in dual-monitor situations such as switching (using xrandr) from two monitors to one. I didn't have the opportunity to use ssh, so all I could do was using the "Magic SysRq". lspci -v output: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0126 (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA contr oller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21db Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44 Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 5000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915
I downgraded to x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.16.0 but I can't do deeper tests until next tuesday. I think I'll give a try also to x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.8.1 or x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.9.1
I encounter a similar problem after the coinciding xorg-1.11 and intel-video-1.17 stabilization (I have always had KMS enabled): KDE presents a black screen upon boot (I autologin+lock); I can switch to VT1, but switching back to X (VT7) locks up the system (no more VT switching and X killing); but I can reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Instead of VT switching after KDE comes up black after boot, I can kill X (Ctrl-Alt-Bcksp), dropping into the kdm greeter, but doing a login from there results in the same black KDE. Downgrading to intel-video-2.15 did not help. I'm now at home with just the laptop. I'm returning to the office to my docking station and external screen which booted up fine into a clear KDE this morning, even though I emerged the stabilized ebuilds two days ago, because it might be that KDE is being displayed on the external screen that isn't there due to some lingering xrandr setting... although it did not have this behavior in the past.
Actually I've worked for more than 6 hours without freeezes, x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.16.0 seems to solve the problem. So, as told by @Christoph Lange, x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.17.0-r3 should be marked as unstable on amd64. @Erik Quaeghebeur, try disabling KDE's desktop effects, it solved the black screen after login problem for me.

Closing as per comment #20. Don't hesitate to reopen this bug if you can still reproduce the issue. Thanks
