dmesg of a failed chipset flush warning
Since the libdrm and intel driver updates my system seems to be rock solid.
That said, I tried your patches to see if it made any change. v7 had horrible
performance, as expected, but v8 is considerably slower than unpatched too. E.g.
"time dmesg" in rxvt takes a lot longer (2x or more) and it all feels slightly
sluggish, not snappy as it is when unpatched. On the upside, it seems the text corruption is fixed by v8, though I'm not totally sure.
On the downside, just when I thought everything was fine, I got the following warning (for the first time):
