Then it is even worse of what I thought. Due to the violent leap from 4.18 to 4.19, there are zillions of commits, and even nlog(n) bisect will give me ten_s_ of commits to test. Please, could you refine your "long enough" for a blocker pb which happens at boot, once xorg tries to program my displayport screen. That would be based on your experience, something to give me the order of the "long enough". That said, I have a hinch. I am going to setup a much cleaner test env: it's a custom distro which boots in _really_ a few seconds (not in the range of most mainstream distros boot time)-->I am going to slow it down, on purpose (certainly in more than 1 spot). Then, I have an efi framebuffer and I saw some issues about this->I am going to get rid of it. Then, I am not confident in my monitor (see my other bugs), I may use the previous artificial slow down, to power cycle the monitor, before xorg tries to detect and program it. Well, I'll try to figure a way to put my monitor in a "probably" cleaner state (in respect of displayport hotplug support). Oh, and just in case of, I'll stick to the performance cpu governor. If you have any advice about this based on your experience at knowledge , which I cannot match, I'm all eyes and hears. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
