After some time the display goes into a one color blur mode.
Everything but the display continues to work. Changing to another tty doesn't help.

There was an old leftover in my cmdline for linux.
removed it. I played a with i915 cmdline options to mitigate some flickering my previous laptop x201. Removing i915.edp_vswing=2 from cmdline now.

the bug is related to native gfx. it happens much more often with these experimental options.
it also shows up if using radare2 in visual mode and scrolling a little bit.
the pattern triggers than this behaviour.

I've played a little bit with FDI link training on Sandybridge and it looks like it's very similar to the i915 kernel module.
But I discovered that the i915 kernel module expects the GPU to be configured and it doesn't reset all registers to a known state.
I accidentally disabled FDI scrambling and the display output was random, even after the kernel started...
