Output of `dmesg -T`

Using Linux 4.8-rc5, X.Org X Server 1.18.4, and the X modesetting driver, with a Intel Sky Lake device, using my window manager awesome [1], and change between tags (imagine virtual desktops), the screen blanked for two seconds.

```
$ lspci -nn -s 0:2.0
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 [8086:1912] (rev 06)
```

Linux outputs the following message.

```
[drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun
```

I do not know how to reproduce this.

Here are the listed information from [2].

```

```

The monitor is connected over DisplayPort.

Please find the output of `dmesg` attached. Unfortunately, this system hasn’t been started with `drm.debug=0xe` to get more information.

I do not know how to reproduce this, but it happens quite often. The DRM debug level is increased, and these messages are reported by Linux when this happened.

```

I believe it happened at 11:10:02, though there is unfortunately no difference from the message before.
Comment 2 Paul Menzel 2016-09-14 16:00:32 UTC
This time I also noticed, that the monitor on screen “menu” showed a connector symbol. I’d assume this means, the monitor was disconnected.

I haven’t come around testing this yet. I can just say, that a Dell system with an Intel Skylake device also exhibits this problem.

```
$ lspci -nn
00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Skylake Host Bridge/DRAM Registers [8086:191f] (rev 07)
00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Skylake PCIe Controller (x16) [8086:1901] (rev 07)
```

This problem is still present in Linux 4.8.4.

Is this still exisisting on latest kernel?

I haven’t experienced the problems in a while with release candidates for Linux 4.9. It definitely hasn’t been there with Linux 4.9-rc7 and 4.9-rc8.

On the Dell system, the problem isn’t reproducible anymore with Linux 4.8.8.
