Can you grab intel_gpu_dump from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gpu-tools, run it when
the gpu is hung, and file a bug with the dump along with your X log and
dmesg at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg;component=Driver/intel

If this is a regression, what was the previous version that didn't lock
up?

Thanks,
Julien
