It's with a Samsung Q35 with VGA Output. Before I used Gentoo and I didn't have any problems connecting the external monitor. In the beginning it works, just after a while it starts flashing every few minutes until finally the monitor becomes black. I can still switch to TTY1 to reboot the syste

Is this with a Mac Mini or some other system? It seems (although I haven't determined it well enough to bother writing a comment here before) that if the connected display is without power for an extended period of time (seems to be a couple of days or so), it causes my Mini to lock up. -- X vide

I seem to have re-activated this by accident. No need to keep this bug going. The problem is sorted by using kernel 2.6.27-2 in Hardy or just going straight to Intrepid - which is what I've done. X is perfectly stable so far in Intrepid Alpha 5 and 6. -- X video rendering intermittently fails if

I have installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 on the 8.04 partition - 'upgraded'. It now locks up completely after a few minutes. Desktop is frozen, cannot switch to VT, hard reset is the only way out. It is the same whether DRI is enabled or not. The live CD also locks up, but it kept going to finish the inst

Using the same fix in sidux (disable DRI in xorg.conf) also makes virtualbox stable - but the desktop is then prone to regular and frequent X rendering freezes. Switching to a VT and back again to X cures it, for a few minutes. In sidux - but not in Ubuntu in my experience - DRI must be enabled to

That's very good advice Pontus. Thanks. I've run my system with DRI disabled for two days now, and run Windows Server 2003 in virtualbox for most of that time. No fades or flashes at all. I'm pleased; I think it is fixed. Is this something for 'xfix' to take into account when generating new xorg.c

One other point to note. I notice that the screen flashes occasionally since I have been using 8.04 (starting with beta). At apparently random moments, the screen seems to jump, a flash for perhaps a quarter second. It happens perhaps two or three times per hour but I haven't noticed any pattern
