I was using the same driver and had the same lockups. Yesterday I finally installed the 2.4 driver which was in jaunty using a ppa mentioned on the ubuntu wiki. Prior to downgrading I had to use UXA to get decent performance. I have used my computer for hours with firefox, lyx, skype and all the fellows memory eaters, with compiz/EXA today and it's a bit slower than the driver in jaunty with UXA, but xorgs is still occupying around 100 mb (it is no longer hanging indeed). So if you want to try the same maybe we have a memory leak in the driver. Here is the PPA, if you try please tell me if memory usage of Xorg is improved. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 Vincenzo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
