I tried the kernel grub parameter "i915.modeset=0" and left my machine for a day, and got no lockup/hang, when i would normally get atleast get one.however it couldnt start gnome-shell and went straight into fallback mode.
i am also trying http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v2.6.39-rc3-natty/ as bryce suggested, and it booted without issue, some flickering however during boot, i have been using that kernel, without the above kernel parameter, and no gpu lockup/hang now after 4 hours. and gnome-shell started without issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/715096 Title: [i945gm] GPU lockup (ESR: 0x00000001 IPEHR: 0x02000011) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
