For now commit 54905ab5fe7aa453610e31cec640e528aaedb2e2 of drm-intel-fixes 
branch seems to work okay. I can only test with laptop display at the moment. 
But I will test with external display this evening – in case the issue at hand 
is DisplayPort related.

I will add this information to fdo bug 98402 as well.

Thanks,
Martin
