In a thread back in November 2011,
http://marc.info/?t=132173453400070&r=1&w=1
I reported intermittent kernel/X hangs (usually under near-idle loads)
on a Thinkpad T60 widescreen laptop (alas I misspelled the name as
"Tinkpad" in the Subject: line) running 5.0-stable amd64. My full
dmesg is given in the first message in that thread,
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132105242827683&w=1
along with various other (hopefully-)relevant information. There's
also more information on the problem symptoms in my later messages in
that thread,
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132103762123592&w=1

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=132813757309520&w=1
I'm pleased to report that as of 5.1/amd64 (either -release or -stable)
the problem is solved -- the default autoconfigure-everything X works
fine, with no crashes or hangs and full video acceleration.
My thanks to all who contributed ideas in the thread (and to all the
developers for a *great* 5.1)!
ciao,
