You can't and you dont need to. It's a hw prob (although
i thought an G400 could do a bigger overlay)

Leave the judgement to us. You wrote yourself that you dont
exactly know what's going on, so you can't really decide
what is usefull information and what not thus you should
give us as much as possible. Beside, there is a reason
why we wrote at section B.4 "not truncate the output"
you should read that and the first paragraph of appendix B
again.

No, there are only hw problems known so far.

Incomplete bugreports are ignored due to lack of time.
