2.6.30-rc6: i915: Xserver crash - oops after rmmod

Hi,

I use s2disk on a daily basis, and I recently tried to switch to UXA in xorg.conf in anticipation of KMS, for my Lenovo W500 with the integrated Intel card active:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Resuming worked just fine the last couple of days using UXA but I admittedly frequently update Mesa/Xorg/git kernel.

Tonight the X server crashed on resume and I was placed back at the KDM prompt. I thought "$%^&$ the one time I actually had real applications open! I am switching back to EXA!", so I changed AccelMethod back to "exa" and decided to unload all i915 modules - i915, drm, and video.

The latter unexpectedly returned "Killed", although none of these modules showed any 'used by' count.

I then did 'init 5' upon which I had a black screen, and decided to reboot. I then noticed that the following OOPS occurred prior to the reboot, likely the result of my "rmmod drm" or "rmmod output".

Hi,

Huge response, huh?

The wordwrapping makes this painful to read.

rmmod crashed under drivers/acpi/video.c:acpi_video_exit()'s call to acpi_bus_unregister_driver(). So it might be an acpi-related bug.

If it's reproducible at all, please raise a (non-wordwrapped!) report against acpi at bugzilla.kernel.org, thanks.

Yeah, no one fell for the humour coating... ;-)

Ugh, Thunderbird doesn't format it like this when you preview - but when I save it to a file it looks horrible...

I don't think I would easily be able to reproduce this, but I still had a copy of my kernel log for that date. The bug is filed at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13396

Also, if you do have a moment, I'd love to hear your opinion on my post "2.6.29.4: hibernation fails with large kernel trace"!

Thanks for the response!
