I'm having trouble since I upgraded xf86-video-i810, which is an older version of the intel driver, from 1.6.x to 1.7.x and a colleague had trouble with the 2.x version of the xf86-video-intel driver. My trouble is a hanging system (I never waited for it to come back) and then ctrl-alt-F1 (to console) gives a panic a lot of times. I just prepared my machinde for a crash dump. So maybe next panic I have one. Maybe downgrading to 1.6.x helps me again. After the next panic I'll try that. But maybe it helps you also. I upgrade my RELENG_7 about every week, so it's fairly recent. Ronald. -- Ronald Klop Amsterdam, The Netherlands
