Comment 217 for bug 546393

Hi Pierre,
Both patches seems to work (tested 1x on 3.17.rc6).

Xorg-x11 starts with fluxbox, messages show that 9600 is unacclerated and 9400 is acclerated. There is are two errors in your patch "option for disabling accleration for given chipset":
* The entries DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER are not available on 3.17.rc6, but it works either way.
* In the kernel < 3.17 it should be "if (nouveau_noaccel || !nouveau_fifo(device) /*XXX*/)" not only "if (nouveau_noaccel)"

Terminating xorg-x11 crashed, probably because I switched off discrete graphichs adapter after starting xorg. Someone else should check.

Further testing is in queue.

The previous patch you have sent: It solved a problem I had in the past: System kernel panics if the lid is closed during startup!

Thanks.

Do you think that acceleration for 9600M will be possible sometime?

BR.
