[Bug 342923] Re: [i945] (Needs UXA) Kubuntu Jaunty Intel 945 GM - Poor sluggish graphics performance in Kate text, etc.

[Swâmi Petaramesh]

Using the experimental PPA packages with UXA acceleration brought me
some observations after some hours of use, besides the occasional screen
"flashes" I had already reported (I use a "blank scren" screensaver that
fires up after 5 minutes):

1/ Once the screensaver blanks the screen, it will sometimes be
impossible to resume work. The screen is blank (black) and will remain
so. The machine is not hanged as it is still possible to shift to texte
console. But X is dead: Even killing X or restarting KDM won't result in
anything else than a blank screen until the machine is rebooted.

2/ Suspend to RAM : About half of the times, the KDE session is dead at
resume. The machine resumes on KDM login screen.

3/ Logging out the KDE session: Sometimes results in a blank (black)
screen where the system doesn't react anymore. Nothing can be done
locally except using the kernel's "Magic SysRq" keys. Machine will still
be remotely usable using SSH - well, for rebooting it...

So it looks that indeed the cure made things worse :-(

I've installed some new MesaGL updates from PPA this morning, but if it
doesn't bring an improvement I'll try reverting back to old Intrepid
drivers (wonder if I won't simply restore my system from my last
Intrepid backups and trash all that Jaunty Junk :-(

For everything was perfectly stable and working in Intrepid...
