Created attachment 31691 [details] Xorg log Problem occurs in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.99.901+git20091202.a938673e Problem not present in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.99.901~git20091202.ad68881b Desktop completely garbled! Some of the effects noticed: 1. Slowness of rendering some elements! The Desktop uses Compiz. Only some rendering actions are slowed. For instance when moving "wobbly" windows, they react normally and are rendered without slowing down 2. Menu elements highlighting leaves some of them highlighted (can be see on the screenshot) 3. Text elements garbled (can be seen on the screenshot) 4. Delayed reaction to key presses in for instance Console or the Desktop login screen. In the login screen there is no garbling present only delayed rendering 5. Switching to virtual terminal and then returning to the desktop makes matters worse

I can reproduce this regression. This should be rc2 blocker. commit a938673ee84d51ef655c37dfa7bbc5c35334cd28 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Wed Dec 2 20:51:53 2009 +0000 batch: Downgrade batch submission from a FatalError. If we wedge the GPU then we will return -EIO for the current batch and then attempt to reset the GPU. Meanwhile the X server detects the error, throws a FatalError and to all intents and purposes appears to crash to the user - whereas before it often just appeared to momentarily freeze. Of course, on older hardware the server remains frozen until we can find a way to reset those GPUs at runtime. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Gordon, I think your bisection is off-by-one in this case. commit 415aab474edd1425034981306718afd8506445f1 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Fri Dec 4 09:02:36 2009 +0000 intel: And remember to flush the batch... In commit 98e11210 Remove flush parameter from intel_batch_flush() Maxi spotted that I had broken screen updating. It appears in my haste to eliminate the extra parameter I removed a call to intel_batch_flush() when throttling, i.e. when pushing the updates to the screen before idling.

Chris, I made a test with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.99.901+git20091204.415aab47 and as far as I'm concerned this bug is fixed. Not that is your concern, but with the last updates I've made with mesa and libdrm, I'm getting excellent speed and rendering results with Blender, a program that I use to test the progress of the intel driver since the big architectural changes happened to it. This is just to tell you that you are making excellent progress :) However one issue remains with the latest version of this driver, and that is font garbling that occurred since 6729b508, or with the commits submitted after the good working dbb68168 and submit 6729b508 . I have opened a bug report too for it. Sorry for the mistakes I've made in the report, but I got headache from upgrading/downgrading/testing/suspending while I figure out what is wrong. This is the bug report: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25406 As for this bug, I'm closing it

There is still one small problem: If compiz is enabled, cursor format and cursor blink rate is wrong in console. I file a new Bug 25481 for track this issue.
