This update produces reams of these messages on my system: Apr 05 09:17:36 Gertrud kernel: [drm] Reducing the compressed framebuffer size. This may lead to less power savings than a non-reduced-size. Try to increase stolen memory size if available in BIOS. There is no BIOS setting I could change on my Dell T20 unfortunaltely. I have already tried to set the kernel parameter i915.enable_fbc=0 (and a parameter file in /etc/modprobe.d with the same settings), which does result in a tainted kernel (so the setting should be active), but these messages still continue at a high rate and the frambuffer compression seems to be enabled anyway. The 5.5.* kernels do not have this problem, this message never occurs there.
