[Bug 359392] Re: [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd

[Bryce Harrington]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
+ [Problem]
+ Starting around 4/3, when mesa was upgraded from 7.3 to 7.4, several i965 users started noticing X freeze after several hours of use, triggered by application usage especially noticeable with (but not unique to) compiz enabled.
  
+ [Suspects]
+ * intel driver:
+   4/01:  118_drop_legacy3d.patch: Removed Legacy3D
+   4/03:  114_fix_xv_with_non_gem.patch: Dropped since it caused regression
+   4/06:  119_drm_bo_unreference_needs_null.patch: Fixes various nullptr derefs
+   4/08:  120_fix_vt_switch.patch: Fix nullptr deref in video playback
+ 
+ * xserver:
+   4/08:  177_animated_cursor_change_master.patch: fixes animated cursors
+   4/06:  174_set_bg_pixmap_of_cow_to_none.patch: Sets bg pixmap of
+          composite overlay window to None
+   3/30:  172_cwgetbackingpicture_nullptr_check.patch: fix race condition
+          when minimzing/maximizing firefox with flash video playing.
+ 
+ * mesa:
+   4/03:  7.4 released
+     * Added MESA_GLX_FORCE_DIRECT env var for Xlib/software driver
+     * GLSL version 1.20 is returnd by the GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION query
+     * glGetActiveUniform() returned wrong size for some array types
+     * Fixed some error checking in glUniform()
+     * Fixed a potential glTexImage('proxy target') segfault
+     * Fixed bad reference counting for 1D/2D texture arrays
+     * Fixed VBO + glPush/PopClientAttrib() bug #19835
+ >   * Assorted i965 driver bug fixes
+     * Fixed a Windows compilation failure in s_triangle.c
+     * Fixed a GLSL array indexing bug
+     * Fixes for building on Haiku
+ 
+ 
+ [Original Report]
  I am using kubuntu jaunty beta. My system is freezing randomly. I have the latest updates. 
  After freezing the mouse pointer still works. And sometimes the power off button works. On powering off , when the stage for kubuntu logo comes its showing a distorted image.
  
  This happens with or without desktop effects. These freezes are very randomly, but mostly when I run some new applications.  
  I am using intel graphics.
