So I did some additional compiles and tests. The distribution used is openSuSE 11.3.
openSuSE 11.3 kernel ================= System locks up while starting X, hard reset is needed.
Kernel 2.6.31.14 =============
VGA and DVI connectors do work as expected. xrandr shows VGA1, DVI1, TV1 and TV2. Thats correct, these are the connectors present on the i915GMm-HFS mobo. But read from boot.msg:

Kernel 2.6.37-rc8-git2 =================
text mode console: ok, resolution 1280x1024, fully used by framebuffer output X: first device detected is LVDS with resolution 1024x768. VGA and DVI connector work in X, but X switches to 1024x768 for both of them. xrandr reports the four physical connectors but also LVDS, VGA2 and TV3 connectors.
Kernel 2.6.37-rc8-git2 + patch Chris Wilson =================================
VGA connector broken for both framebuffer console and X. No signal, monitor switches off. xrandr does not report the connected monitor.
DVI connector does work, but: physical resolution for framebuffer console is 1280x1024, text output is done on the top left 1024x768. X switches to 1024x768 resolution ;-(
LVDS, VGA2 and TV3 reported by xrandr although these are not present.
Kernel 2.6.37-rc8-git2 + patch Knut Petersen ================================== Both VGA and DVI connectors work as expected, monitor is correctly recognized, framebuffer console and X use maximum possible resolution. No page table errors as in 2.6.31.14. LVDS does not show up in xrandr output, but VGA2 and TV3 are still detected.
Kernel 2.6.37-rc8-git2 + patches Knut Petersen and Chris Wilson ================================================== no difference to 2.6.37-rc8-git2 + patch Knut Petersen
Conclusion ========= With my patch I do cure the symptoms for at least the 2.6.36.2 and 2.6.37-rc8-git2 kernels. Maybe that's the right thing to do now, but if someone could cure the real cause of the problem it would be an even better idea.
