Ah, ok :-) So far, no crashes (I left the machine running all night while I slept, and the display artefacts have disappeared. I will now hibernate and restore the machine, this usually causes some stress. [...] Restored fine, it seems. I can try rebooting with reduced memory. [...] Ok, did so, booted with 1G, opened thunderbird and firefox, machine was swapping about another gig, alt-tabbed, switched workspaces, and no artifacts, no crashes. So this machine should run without drm-kmp-default always? Or a patch is needed?
