That's the sacrifice, we have to stop sending commands to the GPU and wait for it complete those in flight (quite frequently).

Not really, you have to predict when a VUE being used by the end of the pipeline will be overwritten by a new rectangle at the start of the pipeline. This is completely internal state - the primitive command we want to feed to the GPU can contains thousands of rectangles. Instead of counting rectangles, you want to start counting fragments (actually texel reads since that will be the ratelimiting factor) and flush if we queue up too much work for the GPU. If you also model how fast the gpu is retiring fragments so that you can predict how much work is in flight, you could further reduce flushes... We still need to stop the gpu and wait for it to complete. No matter how finely you do it, it will sacrifice throughput and latency. It's a workaround. I still live in hope that after all these years we missed some configuration detail required for gen4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098334 Title: [gen4 sna] Font corruption in Chromium tab bar Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After enabling the SNA acceleration method and rebooting, I noticed that graphical glitches appeared in the letters on Chromium's tab bar during the mouse hover animation.
