** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
+ [Impact]
+ System hang with openchrome driver when using GIMP.
+ [Development Fix]
+ The issue was fixed upstream with a pair of patches. An svn snapshot
containing both fixes is shipped in Precise.
+
+ [Stable Fix]
+ The two fixes are cherrypicked and apply directly to oneiric's source. I had
to reformat the patches but there were no code changes required.
+
+ [Text Case]
+ 1. Boot up on an openchrome (VIA) based system
+ 2. Start GIMP
+ 3. Create a new picture
+ 4. Move mouse cursor inside the picture
+ Broken Behavior: X.org hangs
+ Fixed Behavior: No hang, GIMP works normally
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The patches have received testing in Debian and upstream, so presumably
should be fairly safe. The number of people using openchrome is relatively
small compared to the main X drivers, so the scope of risk is rather small here.
+

The computer is a HP t5545 (a thinclient) and Jaunty is serverd to it
through ltsp.
It is 7:th of August 2009, the system is fully upgraded.
In Jaunty:
1. Everything works almost perfectly until Gimp is started and a new picture
is created and the mouse cursor is moved inside of it. Then the whole X.org
system hangs. It is possible for some time to log in through SSH but after some
time the system locks up completely. "NoAccel" is solving the problem but the
computer is then unacceptable slow. Same problem appears sometimes with Wine.
2. A lot of green lines appears on the screen if I switch to a text
console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then back to X (Ctrl+Alt+F7). By upgrading
to the driver from Karmic, this problem disappears. But still this is
not solving my first bug.
In Hardy:
The Via driver is not working at all with this computer.
In Intrepid:
The Via driver is not working at all with this computer.
