I can confirm this on a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311 with 855GM integrated graphics on a clean install of Hardy. It results in a total system freeze that requires a hard shut down.

It is great that the new Intel driver fixes the problem but it's not likely that we'd be able to pull that driver in, If we could identify particular patches we may be able to SRU them. Would either of you mind trying out the 'rac763634' git driver at this page: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/bisect/? If that version works, please try some of the older ones to see where it switches from working to failing; this will help us in narrowing down at what point it started working. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm seeing exactly the same issue on my Dell Latitude D400 with Intel 855GM graphics on a clean install of Hardy. The laptop completely freezes with a blank screen and nothing can be done but force a hard power-down. Forcing X.org to use the i810 driver by editing xorg.conf seems to avert the problem. I would suggest this is more significant than Medium importance seeing as it leads to a total system freeze, requiring a hard power down to clear, when performing what should be a 'normal' activity. The average user is not going to know to edit x.org and change the driver to fix this problem.

I have Inspiron 700m and I didn't have any problems earlier (when xserver-xorg-video-intel had problems as discussed above). But, suddenly (in last two weeks) I started to experience the problem of "black screen of death" when I play videos. I'm using Hardy, as far as I heard Ibex installation removes those problems but my question is why am I experiencing this problem after package is updated? Here are some information: The evidence 1 shows the xserver-intel package was updated on 10-31-08 which is when the problems started to occur. Evidence 2 is the Xorg.conf file attachement. The only customization I remember is adding virtual screen size to allow extended desktop in dual monitor setup via grandr/xrandr. Is there any line in my Xorg.conf which contradicts the new version of xserver-xorg-video-intel?

[Bug 221316] Re: [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver
I have Inspiron 700m and I didn't have any problems earlier (when xserver-xorg-video-intel had problems as discussed above). But, suddenly (in last two weeks) I started to experience the problem of "black screen of death" when I play videos. I'm using Hardy, as far as I heard Ibex installation removes those problems but my question is why am I experiencing this problem after package is updated? Here are some information: The evidence 1 shows the xserver-intel package was updated on 10-31-08 which is when the problems started to occur. Evidence 2 is the Xorg.conf file attachement. The only customization I remember is adding virtual screen size to allow extended desktop in dual monitor setup via grandr/xrandr. Is there any line in my Xorg.conf which contradicts the new version of xserver-xorg-video-intel?

I'm seeing exactly the same issue on my Dell Latitude D400 with Intel 855GM graphics on a clean install of Hardy. The laptop completely freezes with a blank screen and nothing can be done but force a hard power-down. Forcing X.org to use the i810 driver by editing xorg.conf seems to avert the problem. I would suggest this is more significant than Medium importance seeing as it leads to a total system freeze, requiring a hard power down to clear, when performing what should be a 'normal' activity. The average user is not going to know to edit x.org and change the driver to fix this problem.

Is this problem going to be fixed in Hardy? I too have this same problem and it drove me immediately away from Ubuntu for a few months. I had to come back because Ubuntu has the packages that I use. However this is a real negative for Ubuntu, I have a hard time recommending this if it doesn't work out of the box and they have to learn to hack right away. That doesn't go over well to new Linux users. Please tell me there is a fix coming for Hardy, and we aren't going to be forced to upgrade to Intrepid in order to get the new drivers.

[Bug 221316] Re: [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver
I'm seeing exactly the same issue on my Dell Latitude D400 with Intel 855GM graphics on a clean install of Hardy. The laptop completely freezes with a blank screen and nothing can be done but force a hard power-down. Forcing X.org to use the i810 driver by editing xorg.conf seems to avert the problem. I would suggest this is more significant than Medium importance seeing as it leads to a total system freeze, requiring a hard power down to clear, when performing what should be a 'normal' activity. The average user is not going to know to edit x.org and change the driver to fix this problem. I'm happy to provide any other information which may be useful. -- [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this on a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311 with 855GM integrated graphics on a clean install of Hardy. It results in a total system freeze that requires a hard shut down.

[Bug 221316] Re: [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver
I have Inspiron 700m and I didn't have any problems earlier (when xserver-xorg-video-intel had problems as discussed above). But, suddenly (in last two weeks) I started to experience the problem of "black screen of death" when I play videos. I'm using Hardy, as far as I heard Ibex installation removes those problems but my question is why am I experiencing this problem after package is updated? Here are some information: The evidence 1 shows the xserver-intel package was updated on 10-31-08 which is when the problems started to occur. Evidence 2 is the Xorg.conf file attachement. The only customization I remember is adding virtual screen size to allow extended desktop in dual monitor setup via grandr/xrandr. Is there any line in my Xorg.conf which contradicts the new version of xserver-xorg-video-intel?

[Bug 221316] Re: [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver
Is this problem going to be fixed in Hardy? I too have this same problem and it drove me immediately away from Ubuntu for a few months. I had to come back because Ubuntu has the packages that I use. However this is a real negative for Ubuntu, I have a hard time recommending this if it doesn't work out of the box and they have to learn to hack right away. That doesn't go over well to new Linux users. Please tell me there is a fix coming for Hardy, and we aren't going to be forced to upgrade to Intrepid in order to get the new drivers. I mean Hardy is a LTS right? The bug really seems to be associated with the Intel 855GM graphics driver.

[Bug 221316] Re: [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver
Ok, we need to clarify that we are talking about the same thing. I reloaded Synaptic, and then searched for intel and on this package (xserver-xorg-video-intel) is installed with this description: X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945 and i965 series chips. This package also provides an XvMC (XVideo Motion Compensation) driver for i810 and i815 chipsets. More information about X.Org can be found at: http://www.X.org> http://xorg.freedesktop.org> http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg> This package is built from the X.org xf86-video-intel driver module. If we are on the same page here, then there still is a problem. Do I need to file a new bug, or just insist here for a fix? My only fix was to switch to the i810 driver in my xorg configuration file, and that "seems" to have fixed it, however the problem is still present in the current hardy repos and with the intel drivers.
