[This comment goes to freeze bugs on intel 855GM] At bug 456902 (similar freezes on 845G) there is currently an effort to find where xserver-xorg-video-intel and/or libdrm changed and so that the freezes were triggered. Brian Rogers has a PPA that he is updating libdrm and -intel until they catch a version which freezes (they first found that a standard Karmic kernel with Jaunty libdrm and -intel did not freeze). It is possible that the same is true for 855GM and this is a chance to catch a free ride from the 845G testing effort. In order to test, use the standard Karmic kernel and add Brian's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-testing . See the bug 456902 comment #29 and after for more details.
Apologies if someone already reported that Jaunty with Karmic kernel also freezes. In that case, testing older -intel and libdrm in Karmic is probably pointless. I'm loosing the overview as there are many similar bug reports on 845G, 855GM and 945G/945GM, and I forget exactly what is already tested for each chipset. PS: Dan, you can follow these two upstream bug reports which will probably be closed when this is fixed: * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21826 * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #21826 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21826 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #24789 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 -- [i855GM] Xorg freezes after short time when stressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
