Comment on attachment 52813 [details] xorg log with errmsg and backtrace Please remember to set the correct mime type for attachments.
The mieq code is behaving as intended there. The server dropped 25 events on the floor because the buffer wasn't large enough to hold them. It then resized the buffed to hold more events when it became active again. Over to intel to investigate what was possibly taking so long in handling RRGetScreenInfo
Dupe of bug #41059? It has patches floating on intel-gfx@ mailing list.
(In reply to comment #3) > Dupe of bug #41059? It has patches floating on intel-gfx@ mailing list. I believe so, once 41059 is resolved it will be useful to see what remains. 915GM has other problems such as requiring long load detection on CRT outputs which is also slow.
Bumping to needinfo as the slow EDID read fixes have landed upstream and it is now useful to retest.
Timeout. Please do reopen if you can still reproduce the issue and help us diagnose the problem, thanks.
