A few questions:
- does this also happen with the driver from experimental
(2:2.7.99.1-2)?
- does this also happen on a 2.6.26 kernel (or anything earlier than
2.6.28, really)?
- does this also happen with a 2.6.30 kernel (preferrably >= rc7)
If it still happens with 2.6.30-rc and the driver from experimental, it
might be helpful to grab the intel_gpu_dump tool from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gpu-tools, get a dump
when the gpu is hung, and file a bug on http://bugs.freedesktop.org/
(http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html has some bug
reporting instructions).
Thanks,
Julien
