[PATCH 1/2] drm/amdgpu: Add module parameter stutter_mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Stutter can lead to a fair bit of instability so an option to disable/enable to debug is quite important.

I don't have a strong preference on how this option should look. ppfeaturemask should work well.
