** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel This is a MASTER bug report, i.e. not a real bug report, but a tool to help manage other bug reports. Most bug reports on i855 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency problem that is now consolidated upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 (which was split off from a bug report for i845). For now, we mark all automatically reported GPU lockups on i855 as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not - to. There are some tests you may do to help upstream with this issue, - and I will come back with instructions here. For those of you who know - how to patch and compile a kernel you may look at comment #30 (and #6 - for what kind of feedback they want) in the upstream bug report. - Actually, if someone could volunteer to build an ubuntu-packaged kernel - with this patch for others to test, that would be nice. + to. + + A kernel with the proposed fix is available at https://launchpad.net + /~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-fixes + + To use this fixed kernel, run the following commands: + + sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-fixes + sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get dist-upgrade + sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.34-52-generic There is a similar master bug report for i845 at bug 541492.
