Comment # 7
on bug 85866
from Michel Dänzer
(In reply to boombatower from comment #5) > Is there some reasonable instructions for performing a git bisect? I am > familiar with all sorts of development, but not a kernel developer. Is it > safe to assume this is in the driver and not Xorg? Yes, but it might be in the kernel or in Mesa. So if you can try the previous version of the kernel or Mesa again first, that would help identify which it is. Answering your question from IRC: Don't restrict git bisect to a subdirectory of the kernel or Mesa tree, unless you're 100% sure the problem was caused in there, or the bisection might give the wrong result. Also, only declare a commit as good once you're 100% (or as close to that as reasonably possible) sure that it's not affected by the problem, or again the bisection might give the wrong result. Take your time to enjoy the commits where the problem doesn't occur. :)
