CFT update day 2

[Matthew Macy]

            It sounds like I just need to make the newer xf86-intel work. The old one probably simply isn't able to support newer chips. Thanks for the report.-M---- On Sun, 29 May 2016 12:15:47 -0700  René Ladan<rene at freebsd.org> wrote ----On 29-05-16 18:37, Matthias Haas wrote: > Am 29.05.2016 um 16:51 schrieb René Ladan: >> On 23-05-16 10:12, Matthew Macy wrote: >>> The highlights for today are the following: >>> >>> Bug fixes: >>> - Will Andrews fixed attach for some laptops (such as the Carbon X1). >>>    The Carbon X1 has a quirky BIOS that doesn't allow the OS to >>>    enumerate the GPU's interrupt. >>> - Will Andrews identified a conditionally uninitialized return in >>>    idr_find that could lead to a panic in some cases. >>> - Fixed a panic in mtrr_del frequently seen when attach failed. >>> - Sleep/wakeups with interrupts are largely implemented correctly >>>    now.

With a patched xf86-video-intel the screen freezes and switching back to the console does not work either. SSH login still works fine. Although Xorg looks frozen, Xorg.log shows that acceleration should work now, as shown in the attached Xorg.log diff (with timestamps removed). A kernel log from around the freeze is attached too.  This is with the drm-next-4.6 branch at commit 1e9ceda8a2a5b5eb45b3cd692987edc8b410817f  >> [1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Acer_Aspire_E5_773G_78RN  Cheers, René
