We have had several reports of freezes (GPU hangs) on i945 chipsets (945G, 945GM and 945GME, all of which uses the GMA950 graphics core) in Karmic. I would like to get some testing going so that we may identify the cause and give upstream all the information they need (and possibly some they do not need) so that they can fix this before Lucid is out. I have set up a wiki page to coordinate the effort: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Lucidi945Freezes . There is a list of test that I think will be useful in order to isolate where the problem is and a table where you can fill in your test results. If we're lucky there is only one underlying problem, and we will probably get consistent test results. Otherwise, different test results may group the problems in different categories. I realize that doing all the tests can be quite time consuming (it calls for tests on both Karmic and Lucid), and if you are only able to do some of the tests it would be nice if you could fill in those cells in the test result table. My initial guess is that the bug is in mesa, since it seems to be related to 3D operations. It would be nice if we could also get some testing of different mesa versions, but I'm not aware of any that are pre-built yet. -- [i945] Kubuntu freezes when I use the keyboard shortcut to start krunner (UXA bug) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
