I have previously used the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild . Instead of getting the vanilla upstream kernel in #2, I would use the drm-intel-next head from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git. Then you would need to apply the patch before going on. If you have a faster newer computer, I would recommend building on that one, because compiling a kernel on the computers that have an 855GM chipset tends to be slow. You will need to use the 32-bit version of Ubuntu on that machine, though.
It is probably better to use Maverick than Lucid for testing this. Natty even better. With Natty, you should be able to steal most of the kernel configuration from the drm-intel-next mainline build in step 4 (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds). I haven't done this in quite a while, so I don't remember all there is to it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 Title: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
