Ok, I'm a little happier that the hangcheck could be just another symptom of the problem... I think it is safe to assume that the bug is in i915, so restricting the bisect to just drm seems plausible: git bisect start drivers/gpu/drm git bisect good 2.6.36-rc1 git bisect bad 2.6.36-rc2 And yes, it does apppear that the false detection rate for TV has changed. The suspicion is that the change to intel_wait_for_vblank() is actually causing issues here. -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
