This would be worth retesting with: commit 09fbc298283b41cf3f25d75842a6d8ab4952dca1 Author: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Date: Sat Feb 2 12:46:49 2013 -0800 i965: Fix the SF Vertex URB Read Length calculation for Sandybridge.
I did the testing with my mom's laptop but now I am overseas I do not have access to any Sandybridge laptop
anyone could retest it with the commit Eric mentioned so that it can be closed
