Hi everyone,

sorry for the late answer, I was sure that it does not happen again,
but alas, right then, it happened again.

Yes: - gnome-screensaver dialog does not come up
- former case: fall back to gnome3 fallback mode, no 3d accel

I didn't have the drm.debug=0x06 running, but with the next reboot
I will activate it and hope it happens again.

On 25. Februar I got the new version of Debian's
	xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.18.0
	debian 2:2.18.0-1
updated from 2:2.17.0-1

Anything I can do to blame this on user space?

I didn't have debugfs mounted when it crashed, though ....
I mounted it *afterwards* and attach the i915_error_state file.
Mind, there is also a /debugfs/dri/64/ directory with a i915_error_state,
but they are absolutely the same.

If I have to have debugfs *monted* at the time of the crash, I have to
wait for the next instance.

Best wishes
