[Bug 440411] Re: spam of change events from drm/card0

[Slavius]

The patch (after some modifications) did work for me. What I did was:
1) download Ubuntu kernel
2) unpack
3) apply patch
4) make modules
5) copy module to /lib/modules/kernel-version/updates/some/location/i915.ko
6) depmod -a
7) dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools
8) reboot
9) verify loaded module by `modinfo i915`

However, when using patched i915.ko I got very poor performance. Single
low-quality youtube video fires CPU to 100% (load average is over 2.25)
and my system is unusable.

I hope this issue's going to get resolved as I'm not planning to switch to Windows (although it came preinstalled on my notebook)...
 :(
