Re: Can't disable i915 rc6 power saving moderc

I do not mind, the problem is that I have tearing again, I would not touch it but tearing appeared after last couple updates. When there is a fresh boot, its ok, but after sometime or suspend or whatever tearing back... I use xfce without composite. Previously I did successfully fixed it by disabling rc6.

UPD: tried enable_guc=3 for this moment of time tearing are gone, will test more, but I still need gvt, also fbc does not works with iommu....

UPDUPD: lol, now after suspend, X hungs for 3 seconds.

Which X video driver is the system using?  If you remove all options for i915 apart from enable_gvt is there any difference?

upd: after testing, I released that tearing back after I activate suspend. Before that it works fine. Also remove all i915 options did not help.
