It all depends. There is a new ACPI backlight issue causing grief, aside from that and lingering issues with the legacy backlight combination mode, I don't think there was a new i915 KMS regression. (We had regressions elsewhere and finally fixed up a few old regressions for UMS and DRI1 and various other OOPS-on-boot. And suspend is a bit hit and miss.) For extra fun, it appears that sched_autocgroup can trigger a leak of pinned bo eventually hitting a BUG. That's one I'm keen to reproduce. Without knowing your chipset and seeing a dmesg, I can only guess which problem you are most likely to have hit. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
