hm... good question... i get this:

# ./intel_reg_dumper  | grep FBC
(II):         FBC_CFB_BASE: 0x7f800000
(II):          FBC_LL_BASE: 0x7e082000
(II):          FBC_CONTROL: 0x00000000
(II):          FBC_COMMAND: 0x00000000
(II):           FBC_STATUS: 0x20000000
(II):         FBC_CONTROL2: 0x00000000
(II):        FBC_FENCE_OFF: 0x00000000
(II):          FBC_MOD_NUM: 0x00000000


looking in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_reg.h i only see one enable bit
regarding fbc and it is in the control register 
(  #define   FBC_CTL_EN            (1<<31) ) 

as FBC_CONTROL is 0x0 i'm pretty shure in my case it is off.. ? 

hth,
Florian

p.s. is this in the intel hardware manuals?
