Yes, that is probably the case. This is useful information. Often there are specific system calls that makes it hang, and different desktop environments make different system calls. I meant forward your bug report to intel developers back in November when you got the batchbuffer dump with xorg-egers, but it looked like there would soon be some progress on some other 855GM freeze bugs which would give us some test cases and possibly a fix, so I waited for that. Eventually identification of the kernel patch that triggered the freezes came out of it, but I haven't seen any progress upstream otherwise. At this time they would need driver and kernel versions at least at the Lucid level. Do you have Lucid installed already or could you install it? Standard Lucid would probably be okay, but it would be better with xorg-edgers on top of that and then the DebugFushCaches xorg.conf option for the batchbuffer dump as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze . They may also want to know if it also freezes with mainline kernel v2.6.33-rc5 which is currently the newest, but I don't think that is needed for the batchbuffer dump (you may want to avoid copying i915_regs in that batchbuffer dump, since reading it may cause hangs - I think that one has been removed in recent 2.6.33 kernels). If you can get this information, I will report this upstream as soon as I have the opportunity. -- [i855] Xserver freezing on Toshiba Satellite A10 (Intel 82852/855GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477256 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
