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?
