I don’t really understand the cause and effect here but I finally got rid of “GPU HANG” issue with #i915, i.e.

Jul 02 21:20:50 suppilovahvero kernel: i915 0000:03:00.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 12:1:84dfd7f7, in ChaosGate.exe >
Jul 02 21:20:50 suppilovahvero kernel: i915 0000:03:00.0: [drm] ChaosGate.exe[40919] context reset due to GPU ha>

I did the following:

  1. Teared my machine into parts.
  2. Cleaned up everything
  3. Put some new cooling paste.
  4. Bought and switched a new PSU.
  5. Created /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf and run sudo dracut --force (in Fedora).

The contents of /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf are the following:

options i915 enable_guc=3
options i915 enable_fbc=1

I put these there because I found multiple forum posts etc. where this was the suggested solution but obviously I have zero idea what they’re doing 🤷 I’ve played Chaos Gate as a test without hangs, and it used to hang within just few minutes.

It is still a bit weird that #Fedora 40 with its default settings gives such crap results on Intel Arc A770.

#linux #kernel #intel #graphics

@jani, @timojyrinki, this is how I've now sorted out my earlier rant. No idea what I'm doing but I don't neither care that much ;-)

@jarkko I had a similar issue on my old Lenovo X260. The following solved it:

There apparently is an issue with power states on some of these machines.
