Just lke with the drm-openchrome kernel the CPU consumption is very high. X eats constantly 20-80% CPU and logs show lots of: [ 7222.314] pSrc is NULL [ 7222.646] pSrc is NULL [ 7222.646] pSrc is NULL [ 7222.653] pSrc is NULL [ 7222.653] pSrc is NULL [ 7223.979] pSrc is NULL [ 7234.509] pSrc is NULL [ 7242.748] pSrc is NULL Still, a step forward.
