Subject: [Regression] i915: Commit 0e442c60 causes flickering in 2.6.32

Hi All,

I have a Dell Inspiron with a GM45 Express chipset and an Acer 23"
display connected to the VGA out. I switch off the internal LVDS LCD
on X start-up with xrandr. X works fine but if I switch to a console,
it flickers horribly with the text all pushed to the right. Switching
back to X causes X to start flickering as well. Turning the internal
LVDS back _on_ solves the issue. It works like a switch so it is easily
reproducible. Reverting commit 0e442c60 also fixes the problem.

There isn't anything unusual in the kernel or X logs that I could see,
but they're attached.

Regards,
David.
