Public bug reported: So my machine with intel chipset G45 (motherboard is Gigabyte GA-EG45M- DS2H) freezes right after boot when X.org runs in EXA mode. Upstream have now provided a fix for this and the bug was in intel-agp.ko. Further I have tried to apply this patch to the intrepid kernel and it works, I can login without any hacks in xorg.conf, and I get direct direct rendering etc.
The patch that made it work was: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git;a=blobdiff;f=drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.c;h=f1fe7490131468b40c5817e232442026d9f8ff0d;hp=016fdf0623a4ce7b5f849efc8ab099a2c5026497;hb=2052746fc8397130c120f0194a89938b0b62b6cb;hpb=b34c87315b1a2822111fc8ef744ef504f9be2f85 Even though is pretty late in the game I think this patch should be considered for cherry picking into intrepid. Personally I will run the git versions anyway but a lot of new users with modern intel machines might not be able to do that. Note: 1) This patch is very small 2) This patch is essentially says "if card is Gx5 then do blah" so it's lower than usual risk ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- X freezes right after login when using EXA on G45 machine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285572 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
