If we disable the DMFC with data still in the FIFO and then reenable it and the DC first reads the stale data from the FIFO, that should cause a visible artifact in the first frame after reenabling the plane. If that doesn't happen, I trust that the hardware resets the FIFO state somewhere along the way. > And, I don't see the way to reset FIFO. We could reset the DMFC_WR memory after disabling the DMFC, but I'm not sure this is necessary at all. regards Philipp _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
