Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: [ 28.560855] Pid: 1422, comm: modprobe Tainted: PF O 3.8.0-27-generic #40-Ubuntu [ 28.560855] Call Trace: [ 28.560861] [<ffffffff810587ef>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 28.560863] [<ffffffff810588ec>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x4c/0x50 [ 28.560875] [<ffffffffa07bd182>] intel_wait_for_pipe_off+0xe2/0x1a0 [i915] [ 28.560886] [<ffffffffa07bd376>] intel_disable_pipe+0x136/0x170 [i915] I'm having this issue on both precise and raring on ThinkPad X201. This issue only appears when external display attached to DisplayPort. The behavior is consistent with stock/mainline kernel with stock or intel linuxgraphics drivers (3.8.0-26-generic, 3.8.0-27-generic, 3.8.0-27-generic with intel linux-graphics 2013Q2, 3.10.0-997-generic,3.10.0-997-generic with intel linux-graphics 2013Q2). External display works perfectly on VGA port.
