rc6 is an extremely fickle beast, but generally you see those messages right before the gpu dies. So I'll bet there's more than just those messages in dmesg. In any case, please try out the latest upstream driver sources first for mesa (9.1 branch) and kernel (3.8-rc series) to ensure it's not a know bug. If it still hangs you /should/ get a line about i915_error_state in debugfs in dmesg. Please file a bug report on bugs.freedesktop.org with that file attached (and citing all the git versions you've used for testing). -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch
