I am just asking. Why did Ubuntu 9.04 work so well and there was no issue with my hard ware, but ever since, beginning with 9.10, this problem has persisted. What Changed and why not go back to that version of X? Doug On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 12:14 AM, sam <541...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > Runn

Video playback will suffer - there is no hardware acceleration in fbdev. On the other hand, actually using the hardware video scaling in Intel has been one excellently reproducible way to hang the GPU on some people's chips. Video scaling is the main case where hardware acceleration is faster than

X is running properly with vesa, yes? If you have no xorg.conf, you get the vesa driver and X works properly? If you set i915.modeset=1 and have no xorg.conf, you should get the intel driver. Are both of these statements true? -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklis

A few months ago, I was so frustrated that I played around with other distributions. Suse had similar X problems. Fedora only booted in text mode. After many hours of trying, I now have a Ubuntu combo w/o lockups. It would be nice to know if there are alternatives. Perhaps you could let us kno

Tim, Thank you for your advice. Are you also still running the old 2.6.34-v9patch kernel from Brian Rogers? Why don't I need the updated modules from Glasenhardt's '855gm-fix' like everyone else? Anyone following the new instructions in the sticky is taken to Brian's new kernel 2.6.35rc4-131-ge

I posted about the current status of the 8xx problems onto the i855 master bug, and it's equally relevant to i845. It bears repeating here though: take care to know that this bug is very conditions sensitive, so what might appear to "fix" it for you might not fix it for another user with identical

Thank you for the Xorg.0.log file. It confirms that different things happen when the xorg.conf option is used. In the Xorg.0.log from comment #44 (DRI disabled in driver, not in xorg.conf) there's first (WW) intel(0): i845 or i855 chip detected. Disabling DRI to prevent system instability. then a
