Bug#519793: Maybe a hardware related problem.

2009-04-08 Thread Martin Ammermüller
I had the opportunity to test 2 other nearly identical machines (one
had a slightly lower clock rate than mine, both have other
configurations of PCI cards and harddisks). The one with the lower clock
rate run Lenny, the other an up-to-date Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. They run 4 days
straight without any complications. So I guess my machine has a
hardware problem and the Intel card maybe broken since memtest didn't
detect any problems.

I suggest closing this bug.

Regards,
Martin

Bug#519793: xserver-xorg-video-intel: [865G]Random lookups after extended period of use - workaround included

2009-03-15 Thread Martin Ammermüller
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I had problems running X.org on the hardware listed below. My Xserver
would lock up randomly on the 2nd day of continous use. The lockup would
manifest itself as frozen screen with green/pink vertical or horizontal
thin lines. Input devices would cease to work and so a hard reset would
be required.

I had no problems with an old Nvidia Riva TNT2 card (no shared memory)
on the same hardware. The Intel 865G graphics chip is onboard with
shared memory.

I tested main memory with memtest86+ for 2h straight (5 cycles) without
any errors.

Of the following, in other bugreports suggested, options

[0] Option AccelMethod XAA
[1] Option FramebufferCompression off
[2] Option AIGLX no

i tested the following combinations without any success:

[0]
[0] + [1]
[0] + [1] + [2]

I think i found a working xorg.conf setup listed below. If i get
problems with it, i will report back.

Regards,
Martin

Followup-For: Bug #519793

Sorry, this was a bit premature. My Xserver froze with this setup, too.
I will continue my tests.

Take that, me!

Martin
