[Intel-gfx] gen6 (SNB) GPU still stalling besides latest patches

[Nicolas Kalkhof]

Hi Folks,
ok, I'll give it a try this evening. Just one more thing: Should I pass enable_rc6 as a boot parameter like this: "i915.enable_rc6=0" or is it set by echoing sysfs (/sys/module/i915/parameters/...)?

regards, nico
