Hm. Running “vbetool vgamode” while using a kernel-modesetting driver like i915 is unlikely to do anything more useful than locking up your GPU - as you've found :).
It's going to prod GPU registers behind the back of the i915 driver, which will go merrily on assuming that it's the only thing driving the GPU, and then fall over when it prods the hardware in a (now) inappropriate way. I'm marking this as invalid. There's nothing we can do to stop people scribbling over GPU state in this way - it requires root anyway - and no reasonable way for the intel driver to handle other code messing with the GPU behind its back. -- [i965gm] GPU lockup a37135ff (EIR: 0x00000010) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648299 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
