[Bug 554835] Re: [855GM] GPU hang when an application tries to use XVideo

 

It seems that the current (and previous) lucid kernel simply cannot work
well enough to be usable on my notebook at least. Using
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc3-lucid/ works,
but that's not the default kernel for lucid, of course. 2.6.32.21-31
makes xorg crashes on XVideo but also at some other cases according to
my experience, switching off KMS does not help. The newer kernel in
lucid since then (2.6.32.21-32) is even more worse, since the xorg does
not even start, and machine freezes completly. So for me at least this
bug makes lucid unusable on my hardware which is a show-stopper.
Currently I am using 2.6.34 kernel from that PPA to be able to use
lucid.
