Subject: [gentoo-user] xf86-video-intel-2.8 and compiz -> hard locks
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:06:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248437198.2195.12.camel@centar> (raw)

Am I the only one experiencing this?

I upgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.8.0.  After this and other upgrades I
noticed my X/GNOME/compiz session kept locking up.  It took me a while
to deduce it down to the intel driver.

Basically what happens this.. shortly after going into X and launching
compiz the screen would just lock up.  Most of the time the pointer
still moves and I can still hear audio if it's playing, but the display
does not update.  I can ssh into the machine.  If i then kill the
running compiz I see no difference.  Compiz appears to die or at least
be in zombie state but no screen updates.  Then if I kill the X server
the entire box locks up (ssh and all) and I have to hard reboot.

I've tried re-merging all my x11-drivers/ and also mesa and xorg-server,
but nothing seems to help.  I've tried this on kernel 2.6.30 as well as
2.6.31-rc4.  I haven't noticed any difference.

I downgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.7.1 and so far everything is fine.
Anyone else experienced this?

Hardware:
Lenovo ThinkPad R61 w/ Intel GM965.
