I tried this diff and at least one thing changed -- neverball now works
(previously it immediately hung the GPU on start). There is still
corruption and GPU hanging in chromium. There is corruption in mplayer
-vo gl too (and it is still much slower than it is on 5.4).
With a lot of help from S
The second one works better -- it now shows the picture, but GPU hangs
anyway.
I just tried this. It gives a blank screen while booting (after
initalizing inteldrm). Nothing shows up on screen, but system does not
hang.
