Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
The problem becomes apparent for example if I start chromium and try to move the whole browser window by holding down the alt key + the mouse, resulting in almost slow motion.
Similar effects with Iceweasel on various websites e.g. googlemaps. This is after a fresh reboot.
Furthermore I noticed after a couple of resumes I can't play videos with the default settings any more, e.g. in mplayer only with the -xv X11 option.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I switched from testing to experimental (xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917-1~bpo8+1) both with "uxa" acceleration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
* What was the outcome of this action?
Slightly better performance but the issue still remains, especially the loss of the acceleration after resumes.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No loss of the hardware acceleration
Does that also happen with a newer kernel and/or mesa? Cheers, Julien
Hi, thanks for you indication! I tried it with mesa, ending up with an unusable screen rendering only artefacts after resume. I updated & upgraded recently and therefore should use the latest available kernel on testing(3.16.0-4-amd64). I was just wondering how to install a newer/other kernel without messing my sources? I found my dmesg outputs the following lines: [32174.108381] [drm] stuck on render ring [32174.110149] [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 0:0x00dfffff, reason: Ring hung, action: reset & stumbled across this guy reporting similar issues with intel graphic driver on debian: http://www.moi.vonos.net/2015/05/t550-linux/ best, Olsen
Just to paste some more info, when I start chromium after resume the screen's black and dmesg output's as follows: ...
