[Bug 456902] Re: [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in

 

I've been using Brian's PPA for a few days now on karmic with the latest
karmic kernel, 2.6.31-16-generic.  I have seen no X freezes or crashes
during normal use.  Also, the horrifyingly slow graphics that was such a
problem under jaunty is (at least mostly) gone, even though these are
the jaunty drivers.

One thing - every time gdm tries to restart, I get a blank screen with
no response.  This includes any time I end an X session and want to get
back to the gdm prompt screen, and even if I issue the INTEL_DEBUG line
to restart gdm with debugging on as described in the intel X driver
debugging info.  I have not tried to ssh in and I don't remember whether
NumLock will toggle once this blank screen comes up - I can report on
this later.  This problem isn't a dealbreaker, as in normal use I will
rarely restart X, but it may prevent this becoming a recommended
workaround.
