[Bug 476817] Re: [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard

 

I can also confirm that the ppa kernel works for me in Lucid, while
without it I can't boot my old laptop.

My card is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02)

2.6.32-20.30 => Last one that boots, crashes with Xv
2.6.32-21.32 => It hangs when X starts
2.6.32-22.33 => It hangs when X starts
2.6.34rc3-51.2 => Works fine with KMS and Xv and everything.
One minor glitch, I'm sometimes seeing a black square over the Xv video (e.g. on totem but not on vlc), covering all of the video. In totem, when I open a menu and close it, that black square goes where the menu was. And when I switch to fullscreen it goes away so I can see the video normally. (for more details see my posts in bug #511001)

Please backport that newest patch for Lucid. :)
