I hadn't seen it... but then my main desktop box where I run intensive
tests (ie, games) is radeon and nvidia so hadn't really tried seen this.
The box that has i915 just does some simple framebuffer manipulation and
that looks OK.

Do you see the same symptoms - checkboard screen?

The LKML had some fixes for this from Keith Packard. Something about
using i915.semaphores=0 I think. And I thought I saw some fixes for
3.2-rc7 for this but not sure..
