Thanks for the reminder.

If we can figure this out soon, then we can hope to get a fix in.

For all GPU-hang bugs today, the most helpful thing that any bug
reporter can do is to run Linux 2.6.34-rc1 or later which will detect
the GPU hang and record the last batch buffer before the hang to[*]:

	/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state

Anything from that file other than "no error state collected" is very
interesting and very helpful for bug reports.

It would be great to have this information added to the
how_to_report_bug.html page on intellinuxgraphics.org.

[*] If you don't have a /sys/kernel/debug/dri directory then ensure that
debugfs is mounted as follows:

	sudo mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
