I noticed that there was an xserver-xorg-video-intel update yesterday. Today I booted with the standard kernel option (i.e. without "apci=off") and the laptop has been running for 8 hours without lockup. I'm running the standard kernel and xserver-xorg drivers. I recently removed most of the Xubuntu/xfce stuff because this machine is somewhat RAM-challenged (256MB) and I installed lxde and openbox instead.
I don't know if the different desktop environment would make any difference. Someone in another thread mentioned that no lockups occurred under IceWM, which is why I wonder if it might affect things. -- [i855] Xserver freezing on Toshiba Satellite A10 (Intel 82852/855GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477256 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
