Strange things: - downgraded to 2.9 driver -> it still behaved as the 2.11 driver (=freeze after a while, can switch to console). - back to vesa -> got an error about a KMS driver being loaded (!). - fix for this was to purge the intel driver and reinstall it. This also restored the instant crash from times before. Looks, like I can dance between this and bug #565870 and we can forget the last comment (as that was no change but only the alltime state _with_ KMS).
Looking a bit deeper the 2.11-driver *required* KMS and enables this using a file in /etc/modprobe.d, which is kept after downgrade. That file needs to be killed to get at least vesa back. -- [i855] Lucid Freeze shortly after X startup (needs KMS blacklist?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511001 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
