Comment 1 Chris Wilson 2010-06-24 03:24:03 UTC 
I can reproduce this and have tracked it down to a change in the ddx between db586624d4f2908d2a998ba87fe0ae31c10f46b91 and 41684d54592cf93554a4d6534e7ea74562b1798.
Comment 2 Chris Wilson 2010-06-24 03:41:47 UTC 
So the change to use drm to create the tiled buffer was the cause. We were failing to limit what we requested from the kernel and subsequently did not check the return code [EINVAL] and interpreted as a general failure.
