This is a MASTER bug report, i.e. not a real bug report, but a tool to help manage other bug reports.

Most bug reports on i845 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency problem that is now consolidated upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345 . For now, we mark all automatically reported GPU lockups as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not to. There are some tests you may do to help upstream with this issue, and I will come back with instructions here. For those of you who know how to patch and compile a kernel you may look at comment #61 in the upstream bug report.
