That's usually enough to identify duplicates and so may be useful from the dev perspective. Or throw in a QA parameter that dumps an interesting subset to KERN_ERR. Most people seem to manage to include the dmesg so getting the right information into it would reduce some of the annoyance in vague bug reports. (Too much of the wrong information though is equally annoying.) -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
