Ah, thanks for the tip unggnu, that's a nice workaround for textured video. By the way, I was able to figure out why my backtrace didn't have full symbols. The two dbg packages you mentioned does not cover everything, it's also necessary to install libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg in order to get symbols for i

Could you upload the whole backtrace with symbols then please? I guess the Intel devs are mostly interested in the 2.3.1 one. The dbg package for this driver is available at http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg_2.3.1-1_i386.deb . --

I can confirm this bug, been having it in gutsy too. for some time it seemed to be less frequent, then - about a week ago - an update for kernel came that made this bug readily reproducible again. my system: Kubuntu Hardy Intel GMA965/X3100, default drivers electricsheep screensaver. I seem to be

I was wrong about the improved stacktrace, when I looked carefully at it I noticed that for some reason I'm getting symbols for some addresses in the DRI module but not all addresses. I find this a little bit strange. Anyway, I can also repro this bug using the 2.3.1 driver that bryce provided a

Btw. many thanks for reporting it upstream. For future reports there is howto which data should be uploaded for Intel drivers http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html since there seems to be some information missing. Thanks again. -- periodic Xorg crashes w/ high cpu usage after OpenG

The easiest way to test a nearly current Intel driver is to use the Debian sid driver in Hardy I guess. You have to remove the old i810 driver because the new one doesn't work parallel. sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-i810 xserver-xorg-video-all Download the current driver from http://mir

First of all, as I explained above this bug does not allow me to launch any "sudo" operation and in particular I cannot start "sudo gdb" so I will not be able to obtain a backtrace. This is in itself a problem because it means some X.org bugs cannot be efficiently debugged at all (it's probably goi

I tried upgrading to the new driver. One happy moment was that I now get textured video (so they I move totem the video surface now moves with it), that's just awesome.

I was very unhappy that upstream made textured video standard while it isn't really usable. That's why still overlay is used in Ubuntu release afaik. I guess the best thing to test it is to let the pc just run with the screensaver enabled. Btw. do you have added INTEL_BATCH=1 to environment file

I don't have INTEL_BATCH=1 set (I basically don't have any non-standard configuration options available, just pure ubuntu default. The only change I did was to activate evdev for my X.org input (makes my mouse smooth and low-latency). I really hope they can get textured video optimized a little bi

After about an hour of CPU hogging pain with the new driver I reverted to the old Hardy driver.

Sorry, I have over read it. The restarting process is Gdm, your login manager. You can stop Gdm after console login with the command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" but you have to start X manually afterwards. I guess the command "startx gnome" should do it but I haven't tested it. -- periodic Xorg c
