Hi folks.

Please, when you report that the Bt848 driver freezes your system, include
the following:

1. Motherboard

2. Bios chipset setttings : For instance PCI streaming ON/OFF 

3. Output of dmesg

4. Program which exhibits the bug and any useful info like it happens
   when I resize the window, move the cursor around, etc...


	Tnks,
	Amancio
