I have mostly the same problems than other people. I have an Inspiron 510M with an ICH4/855GM chipset (from 2005).
With Jaunty I used the "i195.modeset=0" to fix the X hard crash while closing lid (which happened whatever action was configured on LID closed, and could be repeated without any X or acpid running). While upgrading to Karmic, the "i195.modeset=0" was kept in GRUB settings and X totally crashed the system at startup: no VT switching, no sysrq to the rescue. I changed the kernel setting to "i915.modeset=1" then X started properly and seems to run fine, except for immediate hardlock as soon as XV is used. This running Karmic's 2.6.32-22.33 (-generic on a Pentium M). I have asked at least gstreamer not to use XV (eg: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Media_Accelerator_950#Issues). I can try other kernels or settings to help narrow down that XV crash if that helps. -- [855GM] GPU hang when an application tries to use XVideo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554835 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
