I saw a single notification event yesterday while in office - previously I would have recieved 70000-90000 during that timeframe. I consider the pure amount of notifications unsettling - and in case of some "real" issue it might even get lost inbetween those notifications. Maybe there is a possible compromise between the situation before and after the patch? I'm willing to lose a few percent of GPU performance just for the sake of getting lost of those notification events... _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
