[Bug 982889] Re: X trying to start faster than drm driver is ready

[Andy Whitcroft]

Ok it is clear something odd going on with the drm ioctls.  As there is
little information in the X logs, I have put some debug in the kernel to
try and help us understand this.  If those of you who can reproduce this
issue could try out the following kernels and report back.  When you
have successfully reproduced this please report back here including the
output of 'dmesg':

Thanks in advanced.

Title:
  X trying to start faster than drm driver is ready

Status in “libdrm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  X server fails to start the first time after boot, it works fine when
  I start it again.

  Looks like a race condition with intel drm initialization, i guess X
  tries to start faster than drm driver is initialized so it fails.
