Hope you can help to explain. There are too many variables to even try to guess. The delta between 3.0 and 3.5 is HUGE as I'm sure you know. Timing related issues are the generic, we don't know, response... so it must be a timing issue ;-) > > Regards, > > David > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Widawsky [mailto:ben at bwidawsk.net] > Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 8:06 PM > To: Liu, Ying2 > Cc: intel-gfx at lists.freedesktop.org; Meng, David > Subject: Re: glxdemo/glxpixmap doesn't work, please help > > On Tue, 21 Aug 2012 00:49:17 +0000 > "Liu, Ying2" <ying2.liu at intel.com> wrote: > > > We are running mesademo on Ivybridge platform.
