kernel 2.6.32.5 and kernel 2.6.32.6 intel kms problem

jithin1987 · 2010-02-03 01:58:09

I had a freeze when I did VT switch. It worked for several time and just froze.

@combuster I installed kernel 2.6.33-rc6 and stuff seems to be good so far
I used this package from aur http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31932 ( there is a repository mentioned in comments and I am using it)

Well I switched to gnome, last mysql and akonadi problem tipped the scale.

Since yesterday no problems with 2.6.32.7, we will see how this turnes out.

Nice to hear that your issues are solved. But I doubt if they are KDE specific. If you face more issues just try the rc kernel .

combuster · 2010-02-03 12:31:17

I have rc5, but I'll wait a little longer until rc7 hits...

I had the same problem on both of 'em stable and rc so I should know more if this hits me again on gnome.

Ok, the patch for this issues have been released and should find it's way into 2.6.33-rc8 I suppose... Yay! We'll see if this helps...

have you got any link for the patch (that I can compile my kernel with it and try)

combuster · 2010-02-10 01:18:36

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24314
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15015

I've tried both of the patches but it's still early to draw any conclusion, I've maybe jumped a gun a little but so far no problems, I'll see how it's working out in the next few days.

I just updated to the -git version of the intel driver to make the problems dissapear... coincident?

combuster · 2010-02-10 08:24:49

OK, how often does these problems reoucurring? For me I have a blank screen upon restart every three days and the problem with blank screen after suspend dissapeared. I could'nt reproduce either of them on my own will.

I tried kubunu lucid alpha sometime last week and there was no freeze. Both had same kernel but different intel driver. So switching to an older driver must be worth a try.

Which version of the xf86-video-intel?

jithin1987 · 2010-02-10 08:54:57

xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.9.1-1ubuntu4) from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/x11/xs … ideo-intel

I used it only for 2 days though, so cant say for sure.
