[Bug 1472471] Re: XServer crash logs the user off randomly

 

So, I switched to UXA, which I did by adding a file "20-intel.conf" containing this:
<code>
Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
	Driver      "intel"
	Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection
</code>

The bug seems to be gone this way. But apparently the UXA mode has its
own problems (such as gnome-terminal invariably freezing the entire
session (mouse included) for 15 secs).

Hope that helps
Thanks
C.

Title:
  XServer crash logs the user off randomly

Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  System: Ubuntu 14.04, running cinnamon, on a Dell M3800.

  The bug happens randomly and logs off the user, who loses everything in the current session.
  It happens mostly when a new window is openned, especially terminals (but not only).

  >  cat /proc/version_signature 
  Ubuntu 3.16.0-41.57~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt11

  The same happens with the latest 3.16.0-43 kernel. Here's what I found
  in the Xorg.0.log.old file:
