Unfortunately, with the latest round of updates it seem my laptop is crashing even more often.
System: Dell Inspiron 510m laptop, 512mb ram, latest Gutsy as of 15/10/07 Graphics: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) What works: 1. Video playback 2. DRI Acceleration / Compiz (using XAA; EXA causes a system hang unless patch 120 is omitted in xserver-xorg-core, as mentioned above by myself and others). What doesn't work: 1. Switching between VTs (which now causes an immediate, reproducible hang with a blank screen; these crashes were "only" sporadic in the past) 2. Closing the laptop lid (the screen blanks and system freezes just as when switching VTs, immediate and reproducible) 3. Switching laptop outputs (pressing Fn+F8 key combination, i.e. CRT/LCD output switch) causes the same system freeze - again, immediate and 100% reproducible. I have filed several bugs upstream and here on launchpad, and it seems somehow that (almost) all these problems are connected to the modesetting code; the older i810 driver had none of these problems. I will try to collect some logs, but I cannot ssh into this machine to recover logs at the moment (even though this strategy never worked in the past, not even the magic keys seem to work). -- laptop hangs when switching video mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
