And after that has been sorted, we should try reset on module load. This way initial state would be identical to after reset/unload state. Now we have this situation that we don't know how much we are leaning on bios on state setup. -Mika > The only issue is making sure that the reset is ordered appropriately. > -Chris > > -- > Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre > _______________________________________________ > Intel-gfx mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
