Counter Strike 1.6 - kernel panic

I'm running CS 1.6 with Wine 1.1.30 (and OpenGL) and am frequently experiencing (what I believe to be) kernel panics.

Linux freezes up (the screen goes black and becomes unresponsive) and the Caps-Lock light repeatedly blinks. On next reboot, I have to do a fsck (root partition reports errors) and journal recover.

This is a fresh install of CS and I haven't done any special tweaking. Video card is Intel i915 and can't find anything in the logs (perhaps I'm not looking in the right place?) Any ideas?

Re: Counter Strike 1.6 - kernel panic

This is a video driver problem. I've had this same exact problem. with an intel 945gm. I ended up giving up because nothing I could find helped. This happened about a year ago, so there could be a known fix since the last time I had this.

Re: Counter Strike 1.6 - kernel panic

Sounds like a kernel panic, what version of the linux kernel are you using?  2.6.30-Arch?  Have you tried compiling your own kernel and tweaking it to better support intel cards?

Yeah, I suspected it was less concerned with Wine. Intel driver xf86-video-intel version 2.8.1-1

Stock kernel version 2.6.30-Arch (basically always in sync with Arch's rolling release).
