start X,then run readpix and gearbox,we will get a incorrect rendering as is shown in the attached screenshot. there are two memory banks pluged in our laptop.following is the memory information:

btw,
1.this laptop is sony vgn-z540, we obtained it recently and had few tests on it. 
2.when set the option "tiling" off,readpix and gearbox can render correctly.
3.readpix works well on another machine which have 4 memory slots but only the first and third slot are plugged.

"another machine" which I said is also GM45.

Haihao's GM965 SDV has similar issue. See below email for the details:

Subject: [Linux-gfx] glReadPixels still fails on GM965 with current GEM kernel

Hi, Eric
    Some mesa demos(readpix, gearbox) don't work well with the current
GEM kernel because glReadPixels can't read right pixels from frame
buffer on my box (Crestline, GM965). Many OGL cases also fail too on
this box due to this issue.

system:
   GM965, interleaved memory, channel xor randomization turned on (2x1GB
sticks, dcc=0xf0202)

I recheck the GM45 which works well ,and find there are just two memory slots on it.but  "dmidecode |grep -A16  "Memory Device$" shows it has 4 slots; following is the output of dmidecode |grep -A16  "Memory Device$":

Comment 9 Gordon Jin 2008-11-18 17:46:06 UTC
Eric, to make it clear. We're talking about 2 GM45.
The reported "bad" one is Sony GM45 product.
The "another" one "which works well" is GM45 SDV, which is referenced in comment#8.
Comment 10 Eric Anholt 2008-11-25 14:15:01 UTC
Posted proposed patch to dri-devel, also in for-review.

commit 79723203cd91f40263835c4f308bda701c504ec9
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>
Date:   Tue Nov 25 14:02:05 2008 -0800

    drm/i915: Respect GM965/GM45 bit-17-instead-of-bit-11 option for swizzling.
    
    This fixes readpixels and buffer corruption when swapped out and in by
    disabling tiling on them.
    
    Now that we know that the bit 17 mode isn't just a mistake of older chipsets
    we'll need to work on a clever fix so that we can get the performance of
    tiling on these chipsets, but that will require intrusive changes targeted
    at the next kernel release, not this one.

I found it in the one remaining spec that I apparently had missed in previous reviews.  It's of course not in the published specs.
Comment 11 Eric Anholt 2008-12-01 18:33:33 UTC
g45 side of this patch is wrong.  need specs.
Comment 12 Gordon Jin 2008-12-02 18:18:45 UTC
The patch is also in for-airlied, so at least GM965 has been fixed. Decreasing severity.

pending on GM45 spec side.
Comment 13 Eric Anholt 2008-12-18 09:23:44 UTC
*** Bug 18256 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 14 Gordon Jin 2009-02-23 17:39:58 UTC
Eric, any update on GM45 side? I really want this got fixed soon, as this Sony GM45 machine is not useful at all for my testing.
Comment 15 Eric Anholt 2009-03-13 17:06:08 UTC
Please don't mix this bug up with any other bug reports about tiling failure (e.g. the gm965 sdv).

This one is for dealing with L-shaped memory on mobile chips that support interleave.  This requires a specific workaround that I'm not too sure how to make right now.

commit 7c8bed62e0165a0be3363f7abf81bf9e30341e00
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

    intel: Use GTT mapping when available for swrast.
    
    This improves piglit quick.tests runtime from 19:33 minutes to 6:06 on
    my GM45.  It should also hide most of the A17 swizzling issues, though
    they'll still exist when swapping occurs (which is the kernel's problem
    either way)
Comment 17 fangxun 2009-11-05 06:49:03 UTC
With current driver, rendering is correct when runnig readpix and gearbox, but the screen will flicker sometimes.
