Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This might be a duplicate of bug #151044 which reports similar problems
on an 'onboard intel 82845g/gl video' on gutsy. Please refer for logs
and trace files to my bug reports.

This bug is for intel i830M (not i845).

Probably related upstrem bugs: Corrupt display on i845/i830M:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14066 is related to the intel i845 
and http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14065 to the i830M.


I had some severe problems getting the driver to work with DRI (see 
https://launchpad.net/bugs/114331). The problems with corrupt display are gone 
and I thought, it works. But after rebooting the machine the next day, X 
freezes the system. Only using "Option" "noaccel" "true"  in 'xorg.conf', or 
using using a special "boot procedure" described below gives me a working X.

I already have the splash screen disabled, because this could cause
trouble.

- hardy alpha 4 (fresh harddisk installation) && apt-get upgrade
- Chipset: Onboard Intel Corporation 82830 CGC (i830M)
- xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.2.0.90-2ubuntu2
- linux-image-generic Version: 2.6.24.7.7

Only with the following PROCEDURE I can get X up and running - once it runs, it 
is stable:
1. Boot into SuSE 10.3 on the same machine (DRI/3D enabled), start a video 
inside of this xsession. 
2. Reboot warm into Hardy.

EVERY "Cold" boot (e.g. after the machine was completely shut down for a
while) results in a total system freeze upon X start (screen keeps
black). This is for hardy AND gutsy (the latter after system upgrades in
january).

Using gdb for debugging is impossible in this case because I cannot get
a PID for X: it crashes upon startup. Using the "run" command results in
an empty "gdb.txt". So I attach strace/ltrace (one is always empty due
to crash). The logs for a "warm" start with a previously SuSE 10.3 X
session running DRI and a video have the endings ".success". For "cold"
start they have the endings ".crash". I killed the xserver via
"Ctrl+Alt+Backspace".

It seams to be an initialization problem with DRI, because once it runs - 
"warm" boot supported and "pre initialized" by another X - it runs fine. 
'julianlubenov' (initial posting) got this effect by booting into windows.
2. It affects both 8.04/hardy/alpha4 and 7.10/gutsy (with the actual updates).
3. Actual i810 driver shows the same behaviour.

** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
