Now I am only getting DRM errors : [ 42.276059] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung [ 42.276398] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000 [ 42.276460] [drm:i915_do_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_do_wait_request returns -5 (awaiting 18 at 17) Thanks, -- Jaswinder Singh. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
