What does this mean, should I do anything about it? Is tiling nice to have?

It sounds like GEM broke something - though maybe it just added a more verbose error report.

System: EeePC 701
Kernel: v2.6.36-rc1-5-g23cf24c
Chipset: Intel mobile 915G-something
Regretably necessary kernel boot option: noapic

There's no obvious difference in Xorg.log (compared to 2.6.27). In fact it claims to have successfuly enabled tiling.

(**) intel(0): Tiling enabled
(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers.
(II) intel(0): Success.

So these new kernel error messages seem a bit random.

Thanks
