Hi Götz,

This is almost 100% guaranteed to be a different bug, (865 and 965 have almost no driver code in common, and although "random freeze" is a fairly common symptom, the underlying causes are almost always different).

So, if you would be kind enough to open a new bug report for your issue, so that we can track it and determine when things are fixed for *you* that would be greatly appreciated.

In fact, Zachary, if you could also open a separate bug report for your crashes and your GPU dumps, that would also be greatly appreciated, (and I apologize that bugzilla doesn't make it easier to "fork" bug reports like this).

It seems as if the *original* bug report as reported by Björn is largely fixed. He reported that things did improve, and also didn't reply when asked for further information.

So I'm closing this bug as fixed, by which I mean only the original issue encountered by Björn. Obviously, other people that have commented on this bug report also have similar issues still unresolved. Please open individual bug reports for each so that we can give each person and each issue the attention we would like to.

We would *greatly* prefer to make one commit to the driver and have several bug reporters each respond "that fixed my bug" so we can close several bug reports. This is much better than making one commit that fixes an issue for one person, only to have several other people re-open the bug report only because they were actually dealing with an independent issue that happened to have similar systems.

So, thanks for your patience as people like me are just coming to understand the constraints we're working with, (many different bugs that manifest in very similar ways), and for your patience with tools that aren't always easy to use, (bugzilla makes it a fair amount easier to comment on an existing report than to open a new bug).

And do note that my request for *one-person-one-bug-report* is distinct from several other software projects that have to teach users to not open dozens of duplicate bug reports for a single software defect. The real difference here is that we're dealing with many different software defects, but with hardware that responds to these many defects with identical behavior, (just locking up).

Thanks again. We really do appreciate your reports and we want to do everything we can to address the problems you've encountered.

-Carl
