Thanks Christopher but I think my problem is pretty the same as in this bug report. Looking at the source code provided with Ubuntu 14.04 distribution it seems the reason is just some debug logging switched on in the kernel file:
linux-source-3.13.0/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_display.c There is radeon_crtc_page_flip function that contains: DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("flip-ioctl() cur_fbo = %p, cur_bbo = %p\n", work->old_rbo, rbo); The command is called unconditionally. Solution seems to be simply removing or commenting out above line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326567 Title: [Asus M4A88T-M] problem with drm:drm_mode_addfb and drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My kern log is full of literally millions of entries like this: Jun 1 07:51:05 atkinson-phenomIIx4 kernel: [119346.952590] [drm:drm_mode_addfb], [FB:58] Jun 1 07:51:05 atkinson-phenomIIx4 kernel: [119346.952610] [drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip], flip-ioctl() cur_fbo = ffff8803de155400, cur_bbo = ffff880407586000 Jun 1 07:51:05 atkinson-phenomIIx4 kernel: [119346.952632] [drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip], flip-ioctl() cur_fbo = ffff8803de155400, cur_bbo = ffff880407586000 I have found places where other have the problem.
