Well, so much for that. Rebooted my system about 1/2hr ago, and as soon as I load up scrotwm, I can see screen corruption (horizontal bar filled with white noise), and then X locked up completely. Tried re-jigging my xorg.conf (had previously been mucking around with vesa and fbdev), but to no avail... every time I loaded X, the same thing occured. Eventually, after removing my xorg.conf altogether, I concluded that something was awry with the driver itself, and so I removed it, and installed the one from the Lucid repos... which means I'll be due for a crash anytime soon, but at least it works for more than a few minutes.
I'm kinda at a loss here. I don't understand how the karmic driver worked so well for several days, and then bam, it decides to go crazy. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ 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
