[Bug 282081] Re: [i965] X hangs and not recoverable after screen saving or logout/login with intel 965gm

[Jeff Powell]

I, too, am seeing what may or may not be this problem.  I've seen it on
two different systems running 8.10.

The first was an ancient p3-800MHz that is now retired.

The current is a Dell Optiplex 330.  I'll attach output pf lspci --vvnn
for those who know more than me about these things.

In my case, I see two related failures:

The screen saver need not have been running for hours.  Sometimes just a
few minutes will do the trick, but it can be hours.  I've seen it with a
blank screen and with other screen savers selected.  The initial thing
is that the system hangs on trying to exit from the screen saver.  Where
the two failure modes differ is that on occasion (with the old system) I
was able to use Ctrl-Alt-F# to switch to a tty.  However, having just
seen this problem on the new Dell, that was not possible.

Sadly I had no access to the system from any other place at the time, so
I don't know what was going on.  As I could get nothing to work, I
forced a hard reboot.  I've setup now with a second system that I can
ssh in with to see what I can learn when I next see it.

This is a significant problem.  I hope someone can resolve it.
