We're considering blacklisting KMS on this card to work around bug #511001, which I believe will probably work around this bug too. It would be useful if people who are encountering this problem could try booting with KMS disabled (by adding “i915.modeset=0” after “quiet splash” in the kernel boot line).
If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us. If anyone finds that their i855 system works *worse* with KMS turned off for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things have been known to happen! ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- [i855] GPU hung (drm i915 intel) on Lucid Lynx Alpha 3 live CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528467 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
