After today's update to intel 2.99.905, X crashes when KWin tries to enable compositing (either XRender or OpenGL) at startup. Disabling desktop effects does not cause a crash.

I use a rotated display (portrait mode).

It worked correctly with 2.99.904.

Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2013-10-26 00:14:04 UTC 
Also crashes when switching to console, then back to X vt, even with desktop effects disabled.
Comment 2 Forgotten User d-FXbJn-0f 2013-11-13 16:48:36 UTC 
Simple xrandr -s 1024x768 command (or any other valid video mode) will crash Xorg for me with same error on Xorg.0.log.

I have little bit suspicious lines on my dmesg which started to appear some point after beta1:

[    2.212552] [drm] Wrong MCH_SSKPD value: 0x16040307
[    2.212555] [drm] This can cause pipe underruns and display issues.
[    2.212556] [drm] Please upgrade your BIOS to fix this.
[    2.272667] [drm] GMBUS [i915 gmbus dpb] timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 5
[    2.285060] fbcon: inteldrmfb (fb0) is primary device

I checked and there does not seem to be newer bios available for my laptop (Lenovo T420).

BTW this bug seems lot like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847941, these bugs may be related?
