Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
It's designed to be invoked manually by the user while the system is hung, but if we can somehow detect that it's locked up, then we could run it automatically.
It collects dmesg, /proc/interrupts, /proc/dri and (for Intel cards) intel_gpu_dump output at the time of the hang. It then leaves behind a crash report in /var/crash, so that after the user recovers their system, apport will collect the usual information and submit a bug on the appropriate package.

Sweet, this will help a lot. Jesse has a mechanism in mind for being able to detect when it is in this state and trigger something, so once that's in place we can hook this in. I'm setting this to wishlist since it's a new feature, but this should be a high priority to get in soon for karmic so we can use it for getting data on freezes.
