Could you test against intrepid (either a livecd or installation) and see if the problem still exists there? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Gaming/Video instability in Hardy (x freezes), starting after 8.04-rc and before 8.04.0 [946GZ] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221504 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

[Bug 221504] Re: Gaming/Video instability in Hardy (x freezes) [946GZ]
Hmm, there weren't any major changes to the -intel driver between -rc and the release. The only patch that went in around this time was: * debian/patches/17_lockup_virtual_size_2048.patch: - merging patch from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13376. Fixes crash if Virtual set to 2048 by disabling DRI in this case, prior to initializing the DRI subsystem. (closes LP: #188178) but I wouldn't think this could cause the problem you're reporting. The xserver did have a relevant change in this timeframe though: * debian/patches/165_fedora_xserver-1.5.0-xaa-option-inversion.patch: - Turn XAA Offscreen Pixmaps off by default, and use XaaOffscreenPixmaps true to turn them on. This setting was an early pre-EXA HW optimization attempt that didn't pan out; upstream is deprecating XAA in favor of EXA generally, and for situations where XAA is still in use recommends NOT using this optimization hack, since they found it often just made performance worse, and sometimes created visualization bugs. People wishing to gain added performance should be experimenting with EXA anyway, not this setting. (closes LP: #182038) -- Bryce Harrington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:30:53 -0700 Can you try setting XaaOffscreenPixmaps true to see if it makes any difference? Another change that occurred somewhat earlier was the switch from -i810 to -intel as the default driver. Do you recall if you were using the i810 driver previously? If so, you could test seeing if going back to i810 makes the instability go away. (We would still need to figure out what the issue was, but this could explain why you suddenly started seeing it at this point in the release.) Please also test Intrepid if you could, so we can see if the problem has been resolved in the latest code; if not we'll want to report this upstream. As well, try getting a backtrace so we can see where things are stuck - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- Gaming/Video instability in Hardy (x freezes), starting after 8.04-rc and before 8.04.0 [946GZ] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221504 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
