--- Comment #5 from Thomas (v10lator at myway.de) ---
Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. I'm still not sure if I understand
everything correctly (shouldn't the kernel driver validate the command stream
from userspace/mesa and stop bad things before they hit hardware / hang the
GPU?) but I'll close this now and check for or open a new mesa bug report
tomorrow (I really need sleep now).

Damn, if this wouldn't be the wrong place I would ask for more details about
your last reply (the thing about the display servers not catching up with the
GPU reset - aren't there drivers which perform GPU resets just nice under X11
already? What about Wayland?). It's so freaking nice, I bet I would learn a lot
if we wold continue the discussion... Anyway, thanks again for explaining and
sorry for me going a bit off topic in this reply.


One last thing... It's exremely off topic but I already derailed this reply and
it has to be told: Thank you Alex for being the guy you are. I bet AMD doesn't
pay you to explain technical details to stupid end users like me but that's
very appreciated. You're a hero, keep on rockin'!
