commit 8f4695ed1c9e068772bcce4cd4ff03f88d57a008 upstream.

IS_MOBILE() catches 85x, so we'd always try to use the 9xx FIFO sizing;
since there's an explicit 85x version, this seems wrong.

v2: Handle 830m correctly too.

[jn: backport to 2.6.32.y to address

Hi Willy,

Lukas Anzinger wrote[1]:

I've encountered a nasty bug in the drm/i915 part of Debian's stable kernel.
The code is also present in 2.6.33.20, which is the latest stable upstream
release of 2.6.33.y at the time of writing.

During a refactoring of the i915 driver a regression has been introduced
(commit e70236a8d3d0a4c100a0b9f7d394d9bda9c56aca): For some chipsets the wrong
fifo size is determined which results in lot's of pixel errors when starting
the xserver and choosing 800x600 as a resolution. If another resolution is used
(eg. 1024x768 or 1280x1024), I don't encounter this problem.

Linux 2.6.32.y is presumably also affected because the problematic
commit was applied during the 2.6.32 merge window.

 e70236a8d3d0 "drm/i915: split display functions by chip type",
              2009-09-21

Lukas tested the fix against a kernel with 2.6.33.y-based drm
subsystem and found it to work:

 8f4695ed1c9e drm/i915: Attempt to fix watermark setup on 85x (v2),
              2010-04-16

and therefore Stefan is staging this fix for 2.6.32.y+drm33.z
(thanks!).  Newer stable lines work fine already because the fix hit
mainline in v2.6.34-rc6.

The patch applies cleanly to v2.6.32.59 and is included below for
reference.  I don't know if anyone has tested it there, though.  All I
can say for now is that it is tested against 2.6.33-based kernels and
looks obviously correct.  What do you think?

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
