[Bug 484020] Re: [i845G] Display freezes (except for mouse pointer) without warning

 

Okay, some updates.

I wrote a cron script for this system that would automatically record a
batchbuffer dump and reboot if and when a GPU crash was detected. This
worked well... a little too well. The crash was now occurring before GDM
could even auto-login the user, and once I got thirteen dumps in a
little over an hour (all attached here in a single tarball), I figured I
may as well go with xorg-edgers---because it couldn't possibly be any
worse than this.

So the system has been apt-get-upgraded with the xorg-edgers PPA, and
'Option "DebugFlushCaches" "1"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and everything is
running smoothly so far. I'll report back here if and when it starts
acting up.
