Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: re-enable semaphores by default
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:56:37 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <880599371.4875447.1321476997747.JavaMail.fmail@mwmweb002> (raw)

Not quite. On my i7 2620M (Lenovo T420) the gpu frequently hangs when decoding videos (vaapi) and running OpenGL apps/games at the same time. Disabling iommu makes my system relatively stable even with rc6 enabled. I haven't played with the semaphores however.
