I've tried the driver from ppa:glasen/intel-driver on two identical machines with i845 (from Memory - not at them at present). One seems to now work fine and can even run Blender without crashing (which would instantly previously). It has the server kernel (server + gnome- desktop).
On the other, a standard 10.04 desktop install (and Parents machine to hard to test on) - I'm not sure if the driver made things more stable as I had to revert due to a problem with pictures, usually photos in Firefox. The pictures would initially show as a black rectangle, but usually show the picture once moused over. Some showed a previous picture slightly offset. It looks to me like the initial texture coping is not working - and having the mouse cursor over that part of the screen forces an update. Here's hoping this info gives someone an 'A ha!' moment. :-) -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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
