[Bug 544741] Re: [X700] KMS, amd64: reboot or freeze while trying to launch system > preferences > appearance

[Bryce Harrington]

Okay the panic message shows this is a fault in the kernel drm code, so
I'll forward this to the kernel team.  From your backtrace (thanks for
including a screen capture!) it seems to have to do with the drm's edid
code.  EDID is data from your laptop monitor which communicates its
resolution and refresh rate capabilities, so perhaps something in how
your laptop monitor's EDID is structured is causing the kernel some
confusion.
