>Description:
Since the recent upgrade of xorg the machine freezes without apparent reason.
No core dump is produced, the screen remains steady. This can only be
terminated by a hard power off.
Not running powerd seems to avoid the problem.
Note 1: Before completely freezing, the machine from time to time hangs for
from a few tenths to several seconds. After such a freeze, "xload" shows a
sharp spike from near zero to approx. 1.5..2 load which subsequently decays
exponentially.
Note 2: At the end of last December, I tried to upgrade this machine to 8.1
amd64. This produced totally unstable behavior/crashes, most likely also
related to the video driver. At that time, I did not yet suspect cpufreq/powerd.
The machine uses the following graphics controller:
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x13f710cf chip=0x2a028086 rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Mobile 965 Express Integrated Graphics Controller'
class = display
subclass = VGA
vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x13f710cf chip=0x2a038086 rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Mobile 965 Express Integrated Graphics Controller'
class = display
The chipset is ICH8.
>How-To-Repeat:
See the description above. Generally, this cannot be reproduced easily,
however, the machine will crash within seconds to hours from starting X.
