>From https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96461 :

This was kind of a difficult bug to track down. If you're using a
Haswell system running GNOME and you have fbc completely enabled and
working, playing videos can result in video artifacts. Steps to
reproduce:

- Run GNOME
- Ensure FBC is enabled and active
- Download a movie, I used the ogg version of Big Buck Bunny for this
- Run `gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location='some_movie.ogg' ! decodebin !
glimagesink` in a terminal
- Watch for about over a minute, you'll see small horizontal lines go
down the screen.

For the time being, disable FBC for Haswell by default.
