Comment 10 for bug 513950

Thanks for re-testing Jamie. Would you mind also adding your testing
comments on the upstream bug reports? When we went upstream with the
issues before they said testing with this new drm was required before
they'd look into the issue.

Also, Andy has implemented functionality for blacklisting cards from
using KMS, and I suggested you might be willing to serve as a guinea pig
for this. apw - can you give Jamie any directions on how to set up this
testing? If you need pciids, I think all the relevant data files are
attached to this bug report for reference.

This worked but after double clicking on the Screenshot.png on my desktop, X froze. I could ssh in, so I ran 'ubuntu-bug xorg' from there. I do not have an xorg.conf file.
