[PATCH] drm/i915: Disable FBC on Haswell

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It causes black screen on bootup and is approximately 100x slower than
running with FBC disabled, so the GPU runs at a high frequency for much
longer - completely contrary to the power saving claims. It also still
has mutex deadlocks in multi-head scenarios, which can lead to a
system/X lockup. These bugs were known before FBC was enabled by default
on Haswell and still have not been fixed.
