Yepp, I got these:

FreeBSD 13.2-RC1 FPS in screensaver drops after hours

FreeBSD 13.2-RC1 FPS in screensaver drops after hours

Hi all! Sorry for my bad English...

I have access to several computers running FreeBSD 13.2-RC1 and Intel 
(U)HD Graphics. For example, it is an Intel NUC7PJYH (Intel J5005) and 
an Acer Revo Box RN86 (Intel Core i5-9400T). Additionally, I can 
experiment with Intel NUC5PPYH (Intel N3700) and Acer Aspire XC-895 
(Intel Core i5-10400) if needed.


I am using Xfce 4.18, drm-510-kmod video driver (installed from pkg or 
built from ports). Xfce uses xscreensaver and Ant Inspect screensaver 
with FPS counter and CPU Load counter enabled.


Normally the FPS value is FPS 40 and CPU Load 15%, but if the 
screensaver has been running for several hours the FPS can drop to about 
FPS 18. The CPU Load value also increases.


All serious applications were terminated before the screensaver was 
turned on.


Powerd is on by default on these computers, I can try to turn it off.

I have not noticed this problem in previous releases of FreeBSD.

Could this situation indicate a problem with FreeBSD's graphics subsystem?

P.S. FreeBSD 13.2-RC2 will be available soon and I will do more detailed 
experiments with it, and bring stats and FPS screen shots.

Note regarding arm SD card images: For convenience for those without
console access to the system, a freebsd user with a password of
freebsd is available by default for ssh(1) access.  Additionally,
the root user password is set to root.  It is strongly recommended
to change the password for both users after gaining access to the
system.

Installer images and memory stick images are available here:

The image checksums follow at the end of this e-mail.

If you notice problems you can report them through the Bugzilla PR
system or on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use Git to do a source based update of an existing
system, use the "releng/13.2" branch.

A summary of changes since 13.2-RC1 includes:

o Netgraph ATM routines are now marked as deprecated.

o Panic fixes in KASAN(9) and iwlwifi(4).

o The growfs_fstab startup script sets dumpdev to "AUTO" in /etc/rc.conf
  when creating a swap partition.

A list of changes since 13.1 is available in the releng/13.2
release notes:

Please note, the release notes page is not yet complete, and will be
updated on an ongoing basis as the 13.2-RELEASE cycle progresses.

=== Virtual Machine Disk Images ===

VM disk images are available for the amd64, i386, and aarch64
architectures.  Disk images may be downloaded from the following URL
(or any of the FreeBSD download mirrors):

https://download.freebsd.org/releases/VM-IMAGES/13.2-RC2/

BASIC-CI images can be found at:

https://download.freebsd.org/releases/CI-IMAGES/13.2-RC2/

The partition layout is:

~ 16 kB - freebsd-boot GPT partition type (bootfs GPT label)
~ 1 GB  - freebsd-swap GPT partition type (swapfs GPT label)
~ 20 GB - freebsd-ufs GPT partition type (rootfs GPT label)

The disk images are available in QCOW2, VHD, VMDK, and raw disk image
formats.  The image download size is approximately 135 MB and 165 MB
respectively (amd64/i386), decompressing to a 21 GB sparse image.

Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI
loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the
virtual machine images.  See this page for more information:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU

To boot the VM image, run:

% qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt  \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::,server -nographic \
-drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
-netdev user,id=net0

Be sure to replace "VMDISK" with the path to the virtual machine image.
