[Intel-gfx] Problem with flicker

[Michael Wright]

I have looked at my flicker problem a little more closely and I can  
see that it is not an XV-only issue. If you stop playback during the  
flicker, and then kill mythfrontend the whole X display continues to  
flicker for a few seconds. In fact you can see this on my original  
video.

So this must be Intel driver issue right? Sure, it seems to be  
triggered by mythtv but mythtv just uses XV and this looks to be a  
general X problem.

Any ideas about debugging this?  Could this be an SDVO HDMI interface  
issue? Probably not since it is a way down the chain from the  
framebuffer.

What if it can insert some printf() action in the section of the  
driver that streams to hdmi? I might see black frames evey now and  
then in the stream.

Regards,
Mike
