This silences Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101600 which is one of the *four* remaining failures in BAT. We're almost green, so let's board up this window as well. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
