It seems I have bumped into another freeze even with this workaround enabled. Well, I'll do more testing anyways...
I would like to help testing another kernel, but on my Samsung laptop both 3.3.x and 3.4rc (at least mainline) versions have serious regressions, since I have to use samsung-tools with easy-slow-down- manager dkms from https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa to make brightness and cpu fan speed control keys actually work on my machine. With 3.3.x brightness control is completely screwed and with 3.4rc it's cpu fan speed control (it's the new mainline samsung-laptop kernel driver that's buggy) that doesn't work and the fan is very noisy, and since this is my production machine, I can't live without these features at the moment. However, I'd would be more than happy to give a test- drive to any 3.2.x version with newly backported i915 patches. -- 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/993333 Title: [Sandybridge] Xorg freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993333/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
