Can you please login to the desktop, let it idle, record /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo and .../i915_drpc_info. Then trace-cmd record -e i915 sleep 10s, and follow up with a new pair of /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo and .../i915_drpc_info. This will let us see whether the pm counters are truly advancing and what activity the driver is performing whilst idle. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
