It is a known problem that reading i915_regs can cause a lockup on some computers. This file has been removed in recent kernels. You can copy the other i915 files by using sudo cp -r /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_{[a-q],ring}* dri_debug-$datestr instead of sudo cp -r /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915* dri_debug-$datestr What would make life easier is if you found a way to reproduce the freeze more quickly. There is a gnome-specific script that was good at reproducing some freezes on 965GM a while ago. That could be a starting point, but would require some research into how to automate things in other WMs. Otherwise, I'm a little bit surprised the xorg-edgers should make a difference regarding this freeze. Maybe you could go back to xorg-edgers and enable desktop effects there as well, then maybe you can get a freeze and a nice bathbuffer dump. -- [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
