Hello Jesse,

your commit 52557ecc6df12d02b9808895394ca12702373e9b ("Only enable FBC if one 
pipe is active") broke the intel driver on my computer as described above. From 
the log message, I see that this commit is intending to fix other bugs, but 
trading one bug for another is no net gain. Could you please suggest steps that 
are needed to eliminate the problem?

My configuration: G965, DVI-connected monitor (via HP DY-674A DVI adapter), 
onboard VGA port unused.
