[09:34] <AlanBell> morning, I seem to have a heap of stuff constantly being written to syslog
[09:34] <AlanBell> Nov 29 09:34:47 alanlaptop kernel: [401694.881890] [drm:intel_update_fbc], more than one pipe active, disabling compression
[09:35] <AlanBell> many times per second
[09:35] <AlanBell> http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2010/10/msg00371.html appears to be the patch that introduced the debug message
[09:36] <AlanBell> but that was in 2010 and I think it started doing this sometime in the saucy cycle
[09:36] <tjaalton> do you have drm.debug set on cmdline?
[09:37] <AlanBell> where would I look for that?
[09:37] <tjaalton> cat /proc/cmdline
[09:37] <AlanBell> BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-13-generic root=UUID=a1919e83-6201-440f-bc38-4482a9274054 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7
[09:37] <tjaalton> so no
[09:38] <AlanBell> I normally have an external screen plus laptop screen, it doesn't appear to make any difference if I unplug the external
[09:39] <AlanBell> performance isn't affected much, it just makes dmesg a bit messy :)
[09:45] <tjaalton> it should save some battery, that's all
[09:45] <tjaalton> er, power
[10:18] <AlanBell> connect irc.oftc.net
[10:19] <AlanBell> oops :)
