I'm aware of that “big hammer” patch from the upstream bug. The problem is that it's not a fix - reports on the upstream bug indicate that it reduces the incidence of crashes, and the analysis by upstream is that it simply introduces a delay which makes it less likely to trigger the problem.
It was decided that as this was not going to be sufficient we wouldn't pursue this patch for Lucid. We'll be looking at pulling Daniel Vetter's fix into a PPA kernel at some point, and given sufficient testing it *might* be an SRU for 10.04. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 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
