It is more likely that we did not detect a downclock mode before now and so this is the first time that is being used in anger. (There should be some telltales in drm.debug dmesg) If you are really, really brave you can try http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/log/?h=fastboot which only triggers the downclock on a vblank. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
