I was able to do only a partial bisect and I attached the log hoping it will
help.

While bisecting I also noticed the following, when an external monitor is
connected (through the DVI port of the docking station):
In the good kernels when I switch to the console the external monitor keep
displaying the last frame X was showing instead of showing the console.
In the bad kernels, after I switch the external monitor displays the console
(and it also flickers).

Just to clarify - the flickering also happens if the laptop is undocked with no
external monitor at all but I think the above is no coincidence and might help
to solve the problem.
