Okay, I have been running this combination for five days now without any hangs, it's looking pretty stable, I think my problems are fixed now.

Unpatched kernel 2.6.34-rc3
xf86-video-intel 2.11.0
libdrm 2.4.20
xorg-server 1.7.5.902
intel-dri 7.7.1

Do you want me to test your v7 patch + locking fixes to make sure it causes no regressions? It appeared to make things worse for Scott, and v7 on its own didn't work for me before either. Or are the good bits already upstream?

I think Scott hit the same bug as I did, so it might be fixed for him too now with the new libdrm. (No idea what actually caused my problems, nor what fixed it. Was it the EINTR versus EAGAIN bugfix? Or all the intel driver fixes?)

Thanks,

Indan
