no, don't do that. that just stupidly hides the bug and pretty much makes sure it won't get fixed (unless someone else runs into it too and doesn't pick stupid workarounds). this however IS useful to (mostly) verify inteldrm itself is to blame. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services.
