[Bug 433541] Re: [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled
Steve: I was using the Karmic Kernel with the Ubuntu-X driver, that fixed my problem. Additionally, today, GDM wouldn't log me in. Screen blinks and just goes back to GDM login. This is, ironically, due to the Ubuntu-X repositories. The 2.9 driver has long since been in the Karmic repos, however, the newer Mesa stuff in U-X breaks the driver somehow. Failsafe GNOME was the only thing that would work. So that which fixed my problem now breaks my system. :-) Turning off this repo and downgrading the mesa stuff back to the Karmic repos has everything working great again, where I think I'll keep it unless I have a really good reason. -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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

As the freeze is fixed for the original reporter, I will close this bug now. The 2.9 Intel driver has been uploaded to Karmic and should become available in the coming hours (depending on the mirror you are using). If you find any other issues, please report these as a new bug. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Released -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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 433541] Re: [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled
So far, so good for me. Even made it through a suspend/resume cycle. Is there any chance of the 2.9 xorg intel driver making it into Karmic too? The kernel fixes the issue, but X is really slow without the newer driver. -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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 433541] Re: [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled
I'm not one to post multiple replies in the same day, but I believe I've found a VERY easy workaround to this. I added the Ubuntu-X repository for Karmic, and did a dist-upgrade. I have been using version 2.9.0 of the Intel driver (and supporting Mesa update) for the past few hours... not a single freeze (I usually see the freeze with the Intel driver a minute or two after login). For reference, the PPA is here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ Machine stats: Dell Dimension 3000 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) ...this is really working well, so far. -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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

GonzO, are the ubuntu-x-swat packages working for you with the karmic kernel, or did you have to update to the 2.6.32rc kernel? I've been running with the x-swat packages (see my post on 10-4-2009), but it only helped if I was on the 2.6.32rc kernel. Toon, I've tried to nominate it, but Karmic isn't one of the choices. Only the previous 4 releases are listed as options. -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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

The kernel fix referred to above is now available in Karmic: linux (2.6.31-12.39) karmic; * agp/intel: Fix the pre-9xx chipset flush. Please update your kernel to linux-image-2.6.31-12-generic and test.

[Bug 433541] Re: [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled
I tried to install the Beta and it repeatedly froze on me at random points during the installation. I remember that intel drivers were in issue in previous versions of ubuntu and found this bug report. I have the same graphics chipset. I will likely install using the text-based installer and change my packages to match what was discussed here. If I have to go through all this trouble, I don't think new linux people will be able to install Ubuntu. This definitely needs to be fixed before Karmic release. -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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 433541] Re: [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled
I'm still running stable using the above kernel, however, I noticed X requires more CPU than normal. For example, running top with a refresh of 1 second in a terminal window will cause X to use about 15% of the CPU. Even making small movements on the screen would cause X to use even more CPU (50+%). I installed the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel from ubuntu-x-swat (which contains the 2.9 driver), and the system is performing a lot better. X only uses 1-2% in the top example above. Moving windows around the screen no longer stresses the system. The system seems pretty stable so far too. Is there any chance of 2.9 going into Karmic along with a back ported kernel fix from 2.6.32rc? -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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
