Ok, I can try to look into this at some point, but right now it is not high priority. When you VT switch, the irq handler gets uninstalled, and the vblank counters get reset in hardware. We attempt to deal with that case, but it's not optimal. As for stutter when printing while in X, it could be text rendering performance ( which kinda sucks right now, at least on intel ), it could also be that the G45 handles vblank counters differently. But I'm glad that the patch resolved the interrupt storm. It's likely that it will help other devices than graphics cards as well... robert. > dmesg > > drm0: <Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset> on vgapci0 > info: [drm] MSI enabled 1 message(s) > vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster > info: [drm] AGP at 0xd0000000 256MB > info: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 > drm0: [ITHREAD] > error: [drm:pid26643:gm45_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank > count for disabled pipe 0 > drm0: [ITHREAD] > drm0: [ITHREAD] > drm0: [ITHREAD] > > best regards, > Jakub Lach -- Robert Noland <rnoland_at_FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD
