dmesg output (fifo|under|i915|intel|drm)
Following advice from Paulo Zanoni
(<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-June/098125.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-June/098125.html</a>), I'm
submitting this here along with the requested logs.
To summarise:
My screen update speed goes down once or twice per second in a Haswell Dell
E6540, with FBC enabled. It's incredibly noticable when typing and text appears
in chunks. In kernel 4.6.2 moving the mouse while holding a key would hide the
problem, but this does not apply to 4.7.0-rc2.
I'm using Arch Linux as a 'base' distro, but many packages that have compile
time options I'm building myself. Luckily Xorg is not one of them, that's
stock:
