It's exiting at line 88 below:
68 static void intelWaitIrq( intelContextPtr intel, int seq )
69 {
70 drmI830IrqWait iw;
71 int ret;
72
73 if (0)
74 fprintf(stderr, "%s %d\n", __FUNCTION__, seq );
75
76 iw.irq_seq = seq;
77
78 do {
79 ret = drmCommandWrite( intel->driFd, DRM_I830_IRQ_WAIT,
&iw, sizeof(iw) );
80 } while (ret == -EAGAIN || ret == -EINTR);
81
82 if ( ret ) {
83 fprintf( stderr, "%s: drmI830IrqWait: %d\n", __FUNCTION__,
ret );
84 if (0)
85 intel_dump_batchbuffer( intel->alloc.offset,
86 intel->alloc.ptr,
87 intel->alloc.size );
88 exit(1);
(gdb) print intel->alloc
$1 = {ptr = 0xa405b000, size = 262144, offset = 197361664, active_buf =

(gdb) print ret
$2 = 36
(BTW I'm booting this laptop with "acpi=noirq" in order to get wireless
working, maybe that's it?)

Unfortunately, the wiki page has been marked "Immutable"
