For what its worth, the somewhere above mentioned fix with this xorg.conf setting when using EXA: Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" seemed to solve my freezes on a Dell inspiron 1525 with this graphic:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) All with a stock up to date Kubuntu 9.04 I did not use compiz, but still got these freezes, kind of randomly, even when not using the computer (yes, it was turned on, no screensaver started running, the screen just froze, and I couldn't do CTRL-ALT-F1 nor CTRL-BACKSPACE (I enabled that in the xorg.conf). I tried with XAA and EXA before, both did freeze, UXA failed to start (didn't check any further). -- [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
