[Bug 353898] [NEW] [i945GM] Display locks-up in various circumstances

[Francis J. Lacoste]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Since I ugpraded to Jaunty Beta, I experience common "lock-up".

When the display is "locked-up", the mouse pointer moves on the screen,
but the pointer doesn't change, the keyboard doesn't do anything, and
the display doesn't get any update.

I can SSH in the box and kill -9 the Xorg server. After that either
nothing happens, or the screen becomes black. In all cases, the display
is still non-functional. A shutdown -r usually doesn't complete either
and I have to power-cycle the laptop.

This happen in various circumstances, but the most "reliable" way to
trigger it is by creating a new email in Kmail and typing in the subject
field very fast.  It also happened in various other situations: like
opening a new tab in firefox, starting up gvim, or just on my first log-
in after the upgrade.
