[Bug 974041] Re: KWin option of auto-suspending for fullscreen windows often causes X to crash in libdrm_intel

[Roman]

The bug is alive, no changes. Upgrading the X server and intel video driver from xorg-edgers removes the issue. However, now the intel driver from xorg-edgers is based on SNA acceleration, which is still buggy, so it is no longer a good solution.
After upgrade the intel driver from x-updates (to version 2.19) the crashes do not happen, but in place of the crash the screen starts to blink crazily, showing various screen images that no longer exist.

I believe the issue is caused by the bug
bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43146
which was fixed in X server 1.12.
That is why upgrading X to 1.12 always solved the problem.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu release: KUbuntu 12.04 (beta)
  libdrm-intel1 2.4.32, xserver-xorg-core 1.11.4

  In the Ubuntu 12.04 with the KWin option "suspend desktop effects for fullscreen windows"
  enabled, I often get X crashes. This usually occures when I just exit from a fullscreen application,
  before the usual KDE desktop should show up. Such thing usually happens with applications running
  under wine, but recently I got a similar crash with the usual KDE screensaver. X server just restarts
  and all unsaved work in my KDE session gets lost.

  In the Xorg.0.log.old I find some stack backtrace, which may differ from case to case, but it always
  ends in libdrm_intel. I attach a few examples below. I realize that these logs are possibly not very useful
  (there are only raw addresses), but I have no idea how to make X to dump more detailed backtrace,
  with full debug info. These crashes are rather well reproducible, and if someone explains how to get
  more detailed information, I will gladly do this.
