I've tried with a 3.18 kernel and still got the issue, so the issue is not in the kernel.

Now this is interesting, as the reboot were only post-freeze so never to test a certain mesa version. I've rolled back to 11 and restarted the computer and will try. Since you mentioned presenting, could it be the DDX? New information: I don't need to have the video on screen for the issue to happen. I can alt-tab or switch to another virtual desktop while the script runs and it still freezes.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
