Does anyone here notice graphics slow down? After a couple minutes of game play with CSS, my framerate would drop to about 20fps (status of other activities on the computer will also slowdown).
This did not happen in 13.04 but is occuring with 13.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041790 Title: [snb] GPU lockup IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001, workaround i915.semaphores=0 Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “sandybridge-meta” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this crash log gets generated. It's significantly more than several times a day but not quite continuous. Temporarily disabiling semaphores seems to eliminate the problem. E.g.: $ sudo -s # echo 0 > /sys/modules/i915/parameters/semaphores [Workaround] 1. Edit your /etc/default/grub file. 2. Change this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0" 3. Then run sudo update-grub 4. And reboot If you indeed have this bug, that should stop the lockups from happening. If it doesn't, then file a new bug report. Side Effects: Rendering throughput is dropped by 10% with SNA, or as much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to be reduced by about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU with rc6 disabled, so increased power consumption.
