I have a similar problem. I have two identical machines (fujitsu siemens scenic n300) with an intel i865G graphics card. One runs 8.04 (remote install, i can ssh to this machine) and one runs 8.10 (here).
The machine with 8.10 has random freezes. Only option is a hard reset most of the time. Sometimes I can switch to a console and initiate a reboot with strg-alt-del. Sometimes gdm starts up to freeze after a few seconds. I tried Option ForceEnablePipeA "TRUE" with no effect. Currently I run X with Option DRI "FALSE" and couldn't reproduce a freeze using the steps piesco described in his original bugreport. If disabling DRI has no effect, i will downgrade to 8.04 and will install 8.10 on another harddrive if a developer looks into this and wants some testing done. On the 8.04 machine, everything runs smoothly. -- [i865] Xorg freeze with 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
