Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the causal link. Disabling the LVDS makes the external DP go haywire, with fbc enabled for the external, but worked fine until we tried to enable rc6 again. If I remember my bugs correctly, pure fbc failures resulted in a stripy display, whereas this is a solid corruption. And I'm pretty certain this is the same bug that convinced me to disable rc6 the last time. > We should probably just enable fbc on the pipe connected to the > internal panel (if any) and keep it disabled otherwise. On Arrandale, fbc is potentially a bigger win than rc6 - but is also a potential loss - right? -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
