If you see failures when the > KMD does not do it, that means the UMD must be missing something, right? That is my initial response as well. The kernel does load one context, just so that the hardware always has space to write to on power saving. The only batch executed for it is the golden render state. Easy enough to only initialise that kernel context to isolate whether it is self-inflicted or that userspace overlooked something in its state management. (I have the view that even if userspace doesn't think it needs to use a particular bit of state today, tomorrow it will so will need it anyway!) -Chris > _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
