The RS State Save/Restore bits on MI_SET_CONTEXT should probably be switched on only when we have the RS enabled. Basically it saves RS state (hw-bt images, gather image) and would not make sense to enable this bit without RS filling this data. I am not sure of the behaviour though when this bit is set and the RS switched off. -Abdiel _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
