It has been happening for me for a while, so I switched to the nv driver (which is terribly slow for me). I was able to get a dump, by having all the debugger bits in the kernel config, and when it locked up, I simply typed "call doadump" [enter], then "reset" [enter]. I got my dump, even though I couldn't see the typing. I have yet to do anything with the dump :( Eric
