Hi,
Just wondering if there is an update on this bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21927
I just recently converted my media box to Arch and my log files are filled with this error.
As I am only running XBMC on this and no vital files are onboard (all media is read from a NAS), my current solution is in inittab to remove all the logs before starting GDM to initiate the XBMC session.
Of course, I would prefer not to nuke my logs on every boot, as I would then be blind should a more serious issue occur.
Current packages are:
kernel26 2.6.37.3-1
xf86-video-intel 2.14.0-2
Cheers.

Hello Padfoot,
i got the same problem here. The mass spawn of : " [drm:intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* Prepared flip multiple times" is produced by xbmc. If u dont perform an action at the xbmc surface - the logs dont grow.
But, i cant offer a solution for this problem. srry
perhaps someone other can do?
Current Packages:
xf86-video-intel 2.14.0-3
kernel26 2.6.37.4-1

Hi SirYasoKuhl,
While happy I'm not the only one, it's still not good news that it is affecting others.
My solution at the moment, not a very good one but at least I can use my media box....
I nuke my logs at boot with the following in rc.local
rm /var/log/*.log*While I would much rather have my logs should anything else go wrong, at least I can run my media box without it dropping to a console on boot as the root partition is full.
Cheers.

Hello again,
thx for your hint with the inittab.
I think i have to do it like you did.

$ cat ~/.drirc
<driconf>
<device screen="0" driver="dri2">
<application name="Default">
<option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
</application>
</device>
</driconf>
After fighting this issue for some time and until a kernel page flipping fix emerges, the above works for me on i8xx/i9xx hardware. Results may vary but it appears to work for now as I said.

Will give that a try. The odd thing is it doesn't appear to occur on all i8xx/i9xx hardware. Got the same chipset in another box and that does not experience the page flipping log spam.
Will report back when I have tried your fix.
Cheers.

Your solution works brilliantly. My logs are no longer being nuked and the spam has stopped!
Cheers!
