Noticed last night that my xorg log is growing wildly.
Its fillling up with these lines:

This is my graphics hardware:
[root@localhost ~]# inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel Display: server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.3 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ironlake Desktop v: 2.1 Mesa 18.2.6
I found a bug that had been reported about 6 weeks ago but it seems that
nothing has been done about the problem.
Is there a work around.
Thanks for any help
Is there a work around.
I see this bug claims it is related to the PageFlip option which is enabled by default.

Presumably if you disable PageFlip, the spamming would stop (and it is probably OK to disable since it isn't working anyway :-).
