I have the exact same problem... x.org freezes randomly, keyboard not responding, mouse pointer is functional but mouse clicks have no effect. Some examples of the random freezes: few seconds after loging into gnome session; after a couple of minutes while using nautilus; most common freezes seem to appear when firefox is running (flash plug-in installed). I'm lucky if my computer uptime is around two hours.
The freezes began when I installed Jaunty. I had no similar problems on Intrepid. According to this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/363900 this type of problem was fixed with the package xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.7.99.1+git20090602.ec2fde7c-0ubuntu1 After installing that package I still experienced the same problem (I upgraded the whole system to Karmic). [lspci] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:00.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) I have followed the instructions on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-freeze-test and collected all the information during the freezes both on Jaunty and Karmic. The attached file contains the dri_debug logs for both Jaunty and Karmic. If there is any more information that I can provide, please let me know. This bug is really irritating and I'm seriously thinking of downgrading back to Intrepid, but before I do that I would like to give you all the data that is necessary about this bug. ** Attachment added: "dri_debug.tgz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27580202/dri_debug.tgz -- [i965 X3100] X freezes randomly, only mouse pointer still functional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345119 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
