Since the update from 2.21.15 (with kernel/xorg staying the same, since I also tried 2.99.917-1~exp1 before the xorg api breakage), I noticed that the video output is occasionally corrupted, with horizontal banding being visible, like for a miscalculated stride offset. I'm also experiencing stalls of 1-2 seconds, independently of the output corruption. Nothing is being written in dmesg/xorg logs when any of the above happens. This also seems to happen irregardless if there's one single output or a second monitor is also connected to the system. Unfortunately hard to reproduce reliably.
Please file this upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg&component=Driver/intel Thanks, Julien
There is a bug fix out for Fedora that fixes what looks like a similar issue for V2.99.917-9 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226531). Apparently DRI3 (which was enabled on 917-2) was disabled in 917-9. It would be nice to have a later version available in Debian to test out DRI3 and whether this bug is fixed.
