Disabling KMS is not supported, so the MTRR complaint is a non-issue.  For hangs, you need to be running the current release of our driver for us to help.  Also, please include in this bug report how to reproduce the hang.

I've list the steps of how to reproduce a hang in

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308459

Now I copy the text here:

After "startx" from a console (say, console 1), everything works fine. However,
if switch back to the console (console 1, using C-M-F1) and press enter,
programs in X11 server stop (I know they stop before switching back because
rhythmbox stops to playback music after I press enter). When switch back
(C-M-F7), all applications hang, left blank windows on the screen. But mouse
can move, keyboard shortcut of C-M-F? and C-M-Backspace still work.

1. reboot system using init 3
2. execute 'startx' in console 1
3. run a graphical music playback and play a song
4. press C-M-F1 to switch back to console 1
5. press Enter, Enter, Enter ...
6. Switch back using C-M-F7

In step 5, music playback stops

In step 6, every X11 programs hang, but mouse still movable, C-M-F? and
C-M-Backspace still work

You'll also need to try git versions of libdrm, xf86-video-intel and the kernel. You can use -9999 ebuilds from the x11 overlay for that by unmasking them.

As for the kernel, you should try the latest sys-kernel/git-sources from ~arch.

Thanks

I have tried the newest version of kernel (~x86 gentoo-source) and libdrm (~x86 2.4.18) and the hang bug still exist. I will try git-sources later.

Can you reproduce the hang bug using my steps? I can reproduce the hang bug in a NVIDIA card laptop with NVIDIA driver, so I believe the hang bug is unrelated to xf86-video-intel.

As far as -intel is concerned this feels like one of the many page-flipping across VT switch that Jesse has fixed. Can you please retest with current bits?

Currently I start X by a script in my home directory (~/bin/startx):
---------------------------
#!/bin/bash

xserverauthfile=~/.serverauth
nohup /usr/bin/startx < /dev/null > /tmp/xorg.output 2>&1
------------------------------

Now I can switch to VT1 and do some works.

But problem still exist after more than 4 months.

Below is the current version of related packages:

x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.6
x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.20-r1
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.9.1

Fix for this was in the X server, please try the X server from git or
from xorg edgers if you're on Ubuntu.

Pretty sure this was fixed by these two commits in xserver master, please re-open if not.
