Comment 484 for bug 1140716

I am also experiencing this, on a Gentoo system running on a ThinkPad T440s. I'm not doing anything related to XBMC, simply using xrandr for multihead. The interesting thing is that DRI works fine on my laptop screen (glxgears reports 60fps, which is the refresh rate of my screen), but breaks when I move a window trying to use DRI (e.g. Chrome, glxgears) to the external monitor connected to the mini Display Port output.

I see this stuff in dmesg:

[ 3561.424762] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on blitter ring
[ 3561.424770] [drm] GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error
[ 3561.424772] [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace.
[ 3561.424774] [drm] Please file a _new_ bug report on bugs.freedesktop.org against DRI -> DRM/Intel
[ 3561.424776] [drm] drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue.
[ 3561.424778] [drm] The gpu crash dump is required to analyze gpu hangs, so please always attach it.

Seems like the same issue. I'm trying to downgrade X, mesa, et al., to try and get the system back in working order.
