The real information about problem should be obtained after the hang.

I am not in the position to actually have access to any erratas to the chip. I think the only route forward there is to try to reproduce your hang on recent Linux kernel with same version of usermode and then ask on intel-gfx@. --g6DVDhPhk1bqxDrC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk/XItgACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4jaQgCg76gr/w73QI6DVimMKVdvuVf7 /UYAoN81xahx8JSIsx5cNEYFj8ZIVyP1 =kZ8X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --g6DVDhPhk1bqxDrC--
