Intel DRM has been improved, I noticed that too - probably due to framebuffer compression.
KMS is enabled by default because the next intel driver version will require it to work.
With KMS on, my screen flickers every 20sec or so. Tried with no xorg.conf and the same thing. I even got some sort of yellow/orange screen of death. I did not use KMS with 2.6.31 so this may not be kernel related. I'll look into it later but disabling kms from the grub prompt works fine...
It's definitely a kernel regression, I'm having the exact same issue with .32 only (using KMS since few kernel releases)
Does upstream know about this ? If you have no idea, make sure they know :)
As I had/still have no idea, I've started a thread on LKML earlier today, which has been CC'd to intel-gfx since.
Can I have a link please?
sure, it's there: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/5/4 and there http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-December/005077.html
