I finally got to try this, though it was on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, rather than the original machine. Unfortunately, with this new intel package (2.3.1-1), the server hangs up right after being rotated (the screen is drawn and the cursor "works", and the cursor bitmap changes as it's moved around the screen, but beyond that, everything's frozen).
So, at this point, this seems to be a larger bug, which is that the Intel X server isn't stable under rotation. It mostly was for the version I had (which I unfortunately didn't make not of, probably 2.2.X), but it's not in 2.3.1. (Aside: I tried installing Debian 4.0 on this machine, but X won't even start up because it doesn't like my screen size (1920x1200), so Ubuntu still seems to be ahead in that regard.) -- web page -> X server crash/blank, no display until reboot [Q965] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225400 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
