Bug description:
When using pymol[1], the graphics get worse after a second not touching the program.

This can be overcome with setting Option "Tiling" "false", so I think it is really related to Tiling.

System environment:
-- chipset: 945G
-- system architecture: 32bit
-- xf86-video-intel: 2.8.1, but it is the same since 2.7.9
-- xserver: 1.6.3.901, but the same in 1.6* at least.
-- mesa: 7.5
-- libdrm: 2.4.12
-- kernel: 2.6.30-gentoo-r4, but also with 2.6.29* and latest git sources
-- Linux distribution: gentoo
-- Machine or mobo model: desktop
-- Display connector: vga

Reproducing steps:
- Install pymol [1]
- fetch 3cwg
- wait a second

Could you retest with Mesa master as of:

commit 7c8bed62e0165a0be3363f7abf81bf9e30341e00
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

    intel: Use GTT mapping when available for swrast.
    
    This improves piglit quick.tests runtime from 19:33 minutes to 6:06 on
    my GM45.  It should also hide most of the A17 swizzling issues, though
    they'll still exist when swapping occurs (which is the kernel's problem
    either way).
Comment 4 justin 2009-11-02 03:54:19 UTC

Will this be backported to the 7.6 branch?
Comment 6 Eric Anholt 2009-12-10 14:22:01 UTC
It's kind of intrusive, so I don't plan to.
