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
