I had a bit of a search for information on i915 and found the Intel doco. One of them is a document that has about 40 pages of errata work arounds which is downright scary. I know that the NetBSD driver does apply work arounds as part of the code but I am wondering if there is one that has slipped through the cracks, there do seem to be quite a few work arounds for gpu hangs. -- Brett Lymn -- Sent from my NetBSD device.
