Recapping my issues, i had an hdaudio interrupt storm and serious issues with i915 graphics. I now run a 8.99.8 kernel but also tested an 8-release kernel. They both have the same behaviour for what its worth. Having a 7.1 kernel, userland and X gives rise to the problems I mentioned. X is workable accelerated if you don't mind moving the mouse now and then to unlock it. Running an 8-release (or 8.99.8) kernel with 7.1 userland fixes the interrupt storm due to the modifications to hdaudio. The mismatch in kernel and Xorg libs make the display show a small garbage patch and only unaccelerated i get a normal display. Running an 8.99.8 kernel with accompanied userland accelerated X works fine for normal desktop work but it seems a vsync is never delivered. When running glxgears, it renders once but it'll have to be killed with xkill(1) to close the window. Gladly the desktop keeps functioning. As for the keyboard issues, the current explicit keyboard section seems to hold fine and haven't yet dared to take it out. Thoughts on how to debug this? With regards, Reinoud
