I set up a PPA for Karmic that will roll libdrm and xserver-xorg-video-intel back to the Jaunty versions: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-testing
It will be interesting if the older X driver works without problems on the newer kernel. I haven't had a chance to try this older driver on Karmic, so be prepared to undo it from the command line if it breaks X. Also, you may have to boot the kernel with nomodeset, I'm not sure. If this old userspace stuff works without ever freezing in the new kernel, then a kernel change may not be at fault at all. In that case, I'll step my PPA forward one version at a time and we can find out when the problem first appeared in the X driver. BTW, I wasn't able to build this old X driver for Lucid, but if we find this version works on Karmic and I start stepping forward to newer versions, I'll start supplying Lucid versions when I get to late enough versions that they build correctly. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ 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
