[Bug 982889] Re: X trying to start before plymouth has finished using the drm driver

[Mark]

All 5 boots produced a usable X session. I haven't had a problem booting up
successfully since the 1st. By cold boot I just mean a normal power on
after a normal power off. In actual fact I haven't had to do a hard reset
(or manually hold down the power button to power off and then power on
again), with my current setup at all since the 1st of March, and even then
it was rare that I would have to have done it before that. And just to go
off topic a bit I find it amazing how quickly it does shut down, in
seconds, it's really cool!

Title:
  X trying to start before plymouth has finished using the drm driver

Status in “libdrm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  X server fails to start the first time after boot, it works fine when
  I start it again.

  Looks like a race condition with intel drm initialization, i guess X
  tries to start faster than drm driver is initialized so it fails.
