I've been using Brian's PPA for a few days now on karmic with the latest karmic kernel, 2.6.31-16-generic. I have seen no X freezes or crashes during normal use. Also, the horrifyingly slow graphics that was such a problem under jaunty is (at least mostly) gone, even though these are the jaunty drivers.
One thing - every time gdm tries to restart, I get a blank screen with no response. This includes any time I end an X session and want to get back to the gdm prompt screen, and even if I issue the INTEL_DEBUG line to restart gdm with debugging on as described in the intel X driver debugging info. I have not tried to ssh in and I don't remember whether NumLock will toggle once this blank screen comes up - I can report on this later. This problem isn't a dealbreaker, as in normal use I will rarely restart X, but it may prevent this becoming a recommended workaround. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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
