[Intel-gfx] gen6 (SNB) GPU still stalling besides latest patches

[Nicolas Kalkhof]

Thanks for bringing that up. Is there a bug report for this issue? I was just about to file a report myself but I don't want to create any duplicates.

@Chris: What do you mean with giving X a kick? Neither mouse nor keyboard are responding anymore. Killing X from a remote ssh is the only option. :(

Btw. This only happens with SNA enabled. When using the classic (UXA?), dropping back to framebuffer console works fine.
I too have a laptop (T420). Is this issues restricted to mobile systems only?

Thanks and regards,
nic
