There are potential fixes for this in the upstream development version. I uploaded it for Lucid to the following PPA: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/experimental
I can't simply upload this version for Karmic because it requires new versions of support libraries, but I can backport the important fixes. If someone can verify this version fixes the bug in Lucid, I'll backport the changes and we can get them in Karmic. Also, right now this PPA contains a Karmic package that bypasses a graphical operation that was crashing i845 chips. The side effect is extremely glitchy graphics, though. It would be useful to know if the i855 problem is caused by the same operation. So testing on Karmic is also useful. If the Karmic package prevents the problem, then the problem is with i830_uxa_solid. -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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
