Yes, on hsw sdp ultrabook passing 100% of time.

I'll do my best to speed up this work and get this safelly enabled by default soon. But with your point in mind I got worried about FBC. One of my tasks that should be easily here was to put FBC on SKL on the same stage that we have currently on previous platforms. Should I just skip that while we don't really have FBC enabled by default? > > Cheers, Daniel > -- > Daniel Vetter > Software Engineer, Intel Corporation > +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch -- Rodrigo Vivi Blog: http://blog.vivi.eng.br _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
