I am having the same problem when running any graphics intense program on 2.6.35-24-generic kernel, Maverick. I am able to switch to a TTY (albeit very slowly, and the TTY is being spammed with that error). However, even after running `sudo restart gdm' I cannot get to a functional GUI - black screen.
I tried updating to xorg-edgers PPA; however, these new drivers leave me not able to start Compiz and the window list, gnome-workspace, and "Show desktop" panel applets crash. I have to stop the program "wnck-applet" because it is taking up a lot of processing power due to what seems to be an infinite loop of creating new windows that say "Starting ..." When I switch to TTY with the xorg-edgers drivers, I get the same log output as previously mentioned (hangcheck timer elapsed, render head ctl reset to 0). I would really appreciate a fix to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585923 Title: [gm45] xserver completely freezes each time when executing paraview _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
