That implies that the scanout is always reading from the base of stolen.
Can you grab intel_reg_dumper so that I can check what values the
transcoder is set to?

At the moment, I am guessing that the display never sees the updated
surface offset and so persists with the value programmed by the BIOS -
which will be 0 and set to the base of stolen memory in the GTT. A
drm.debug=6 dmesg would help here as well.

If you forced a mode change, I think that too would restore the output.
