It likes they are actually still putting the finishing touches on i830GM/i845G stability - http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2012-December/055213.html announces the xf86-video-intel (xserver-xorg-video-intel) 2.20.17 driver and describes a change. It sounds as if this change is designed to work with an upcoming kernel, perhaps 3.8.
However the error you are now getting sounds different and more serious. A GTK patch which is claimed to fix this has been sent to the GNOME mailing list - see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits- list/2012-December/msg03994.html - I will also bring that up on the freedesktop 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/541492 Title: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/541492/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
