[Bug 466310] Re: [i845g] X freezes randomly. mouse pointer moves but nothing happens on cliking.

 

Hi, I too am experiencing random freezes on my  Dell Dimension 2400 with
Intel 82845G/GL/GE Chipset. Once it freezes I can no longer move the
mouse or type on the keyboard. CapsLock and NumLock both stop working. I
can however SSH into the box fine. I don't see any erros in any of the
logs - nothing unusual for my inexperienced eyes.

As far as I can remember this only started once I upgraded to the 9.04
and 9.10.

lspci -vv produces this:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

I see some people on the net say that the Intel Corporation
82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device should use
the i810 driver - Is this true????

I also see that some people have had results with Reverting the Jaunty Xorg intel driver to 2.4
Can you or anyone confirm this??
