If this issue only occurs on BDW, it looks like the workaround we have in intel_psr_flush() isn't working on BDW or for some reason console updates aren't calling intel_psr_flush(). > This is a Broadwell machine: > #lspci: > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev > 09) > > I realize that psr isn't exactly supported on BDW - though I've been using > it for years and have never seen the lockups that people complained about > that led to its being turned off by default. I have seen a couple of other bug reports on BDW too (flip timeouts). So, we won't be able to enable PSR on BDW by default until we fix all known issues.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
