Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.2.0.90-3 Followup-For: Bug #465154
I have had the same problem, starting with 2:2.2.0.90-1: Switching to a VT gave me a completely black screen for a moment, then the backlight was turned on but nothing was displayed. If the intel driver was used with XAA then the system at least remained responsive and I could switch back to the X session with ALT-F7 or log in blindly and run commands on the VT. With EXA used, on the other hand, I found that my computer hung completely at this point and could only be rebooted by using ALT-SysRq s-u-b. I now finally had the time to pull the xf86-video-intel source from the upstream git repository and compile the newest driver myself. I am happy to report that this problem was fixed as soon as I replaced intel_drv.so with the git version (last commit Fri Feb 22 11:41:25 2008 -0800) and rebooted. Now things seem to be fine with both XAA and EXA. (I still use XAA because it results in smoother text scrolling in X terminal windows.) -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.
