The computer sometimes freezes when I do a Ctrl+Alt+F1 or simply quit X while running compiz or beryl.
I was testing the following debian experimental packages:
xorg-core 1.2.99.903 and xorg-video-intel 1.9.93 with mesa 6.5.2 

xorg 1.2.0, intel 1.7.2, mesa 6.5.2 did not have this issue.

It looks like some sort of a memory corruption issue. One of the messages posted in X's log while switching VTs got a bit messed up after switching to tty1 and back for the third time:
(II) intel(0): Modeline "PèÊ Ë"x60.0   65.00  1024 .....

The entire logfile for that session is attached. As far as I could tell
the system was completely locked up after it froze (no hdd activity, no
network response) so I couldn't get any log messages after that.


Hardware:
Thinkpad T60
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=396037

As a side note, some of beryl's emerald window decorations were rendered
incorrectly with the experimental packages. Colors were missing in some
parts and some themes had title bar text highlights in the wrong place.

Still crashes with the latest debian unstable i.e. xorg-core 1.3.0,

Also briefly tried VT switching while running xcompmgr. That seemed to
work fine.

I found a workaround!
It seems the bug can only be reproduced with vga (as opposed to framebuffer) terminals. With the kernel using vesafb, I can't make it crash anymore.

I'm now using xorg-core 1.3.0, intel 2.1.0, mesa 6.5.3, kernel 2.6.22-rc7.
With the regular vga terminals, the same crash occured every once in a while, even if any GL apps hadn't been used.

Martin,

I've reported a similar bug at launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127101
There's even a video there showing how the screen looks when my laptop hangs, do you think it's the same bug?
Thanks.

Yes, that's exactly what it looks like!

Also, I said earlier that vesafb seemed to help. Actually it does still
hang occasionally. With vesafb the screen just stops (no blinking).

Gordon: 3/3 reporters whose hardware I checked were using a 945GM, so I
wouldn't expect testing on a G/GM965 to show the issue.

I'm seeing this too. It happens randomly and when the hang happens the
blocks on the screen are pretty much as in the video on the launchpad
bug. The laptop is a Lenovo T60 running at 1024x768.

lspci output is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03)

It seems to happen more often when a composite manager is being used but
I have also had this happen when logging out of sessions that have only
been using metacity. It does not seem to happen every time. I am
currently trailing whether this happens when DRI is disabled.

Version information:
xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu7

gdb output

Unfortunately, the patch in bug #10809 doesn't fix this bug.
I'm attaching gdb output when trying to reproduce this bug. I was able to reproduce it after my second attempt.

Steps I did to reproduce it:
1. Disable compiz and enable compiz again.
2. Switch to VT1 and switch back to VT7.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times.

You can replace step 1 with playing some video file using xv, but
sometimes you get a SIGABRT and end up with bug #12437.

After the last "step" in the output attached, you can see the gray
blocks and the whole laptop hangs (no networking, sysrq, etc.).

I was using:
xserver-xorg-video-intel                   2:2.1.1-0ubuntu5
xserver-xorg-core                          2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8

gdb output with packages from debian unstable

I've installed latest -core and -intel packages from Debian unstable to
test this again. gdb output attached. Package versions are:

xserver-xorg-core                          2:1.4-3
xserver-xorg-video-intel                   2:2.1.1-4

The laptop hangs in the following loop at lines 1959-1961 (file
i830_driver.c):

   for(i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
      OUTREG(PALETTE_A + (i << 2), pI830->savePaletteA[i]);
   }

There have been some VT fixes committed in the git recently, which do fix some VT bug reports.
Could anyone retest this bug with the git tip or 2.2 release?
