Good Morning,
I've been working on this bug for the last 3 days and think I've
isolated and corrected the problem. Intel provides special (open source)
linux drivers for their video cards at this url:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html
After looking over the site for awhile and attempting to install them I
found that most were just updates to what we had already (pending
upstream). So I went back into XOrg.conf to look through and try to see
if perhaps the system was misconfigured.
This is what I saw:
---
Section Device
IdentifierConfigured Video Device
OptionUseFBDevtrue
EndSection
Section Monitor
IdentifierConfigured Monitor
EndSection
---
I personally find it uneasy when all it tells me is that its
configured so I went through the repositories to confirm I had the
right driver packages and autoconfigs to attempt to refresh the conf
file so to speak.
I installed/reinstalled the following packages: mesa-utils (7.0.3-7),
xdebconfigurator (1.35), xserver-xorg (1:7.3+20), xserver-xorg-core
(2:1.4.2-10.lenny3), xserver-xorg-video-dummy (1:0.3.0-1),
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.3.2-2+lenny8)
Then I ran 'xdebconfigurator', after it completed I got curious as to
the changes it made so I went back to XOrg.conf to see, the following
was changed:
Section Device
IdentifierConfigured Video Device
Driveri810
EndSection
Section Monitor
IdentifierConfigured Monitor
EndSection
Its evidently using the i810 Intel drivers now. Though I have a 945GM
card I dont know if there is a driver for that card specifically, or if
it would make a difference.
I've been runing my system for 3 days now without interruption. Can
someone else replicate these steps on an affected system to see if it
fixes it? I might have just had a different problem...
