    drm/i915: Disable FBC by default also on Haswell and later
    
    It causes black screen on bootup and is approximately 100x slower than
    running with FBC disabled, so the GPU runs at a high frequency for much
    longer - completely contrary to the power saving claims. It also still
    has mutex deadlocks in multi-head scenarios, which can lead to a
    system/X lockup. These bugs were known before FBC was enabled by default
    on Haswell and still have not been fixed.

Comment 1 Chris Wilson 2014-06-12 06:17:36 UTC
FBC is not supported on that platform.
Comment 2 Chris Wilson 2014-06-13 06:11:47 UTC
So where is the bug? Features are not tracked here, and you haven't detected a regression, so what is this report for?

FBC should be supported, but is not. That's the defect. (and I think it ok to track expected features in this bugzilla)

I consider this a regression, as it used to work (pass), but not now.
Comment 4 Rodrigo Vivi 2014-10-08 23:43:05 UTC
FBC is currently disabled by default on all platforms and requires a massive rework to get in a propper stage to get it enabled again.
So, the behaviour on the original report here is the expected so far. It skips when it is disabled by default.
But we can let this entry open as a feature request while we don't get it enabled by default.
Comment 5 Chris Wilson 2015-01-07 18:31:06 UTC
Forward duping for dependency tracking.
