Dan, we (and more importantly, upstream) have a policy of only one
reporter per bug report. This is because xorg-bugs that look exactly the
same can have different causes. It soon gets confusing when we have
files from different reporters in the same bug report, especially if it
turns out that the logs are incompatible.

We appreciate your information, but we would prefer it in a separate bug
report. If the issues turn out to be the same, it can be marked as a
duplicate, which means that we have two linked bug reports of the same
issue, but it is easy to keep track of which files come from where.

There are already quite a few bug reports on 855GM freezes
(see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bugs?field.tag=855gm%20freeze&field.tags_combinator=ALL), but since you are providing high quality input (in a place where it is not very useful), it would be nice if we could have one from you as well. Please take a look at the other 855GM freeze bugs and take a look at the different tests that are useful and include that in your report (and the comments you made here). Make sure to make it a complete report with /var/log/Xorg.0.log, full dmesg output and output of `lspci -vvnn` as separate attachments. If you get all the information in there right away, we avoid a few rounds of back-and-forth communication and can put your information to use right away.
