[Bug 477256] [NEW] Xserver freezing on Toshiba Satellite A10 (Intel 82852/855GM)

[Irihapeti]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After installing Xubuntu Karmic on this laptop, I'm having regular
Xserver lockups, as in once per session. The mouse pointer still moves,
but clicking does nothing and the keyboard is disabled. I can use the
Alt-SysRq-REISUB commands, but the reboot that follows doesn't complete.
The only way to clear this is by a complete power-down. The time before
the freeze occurs varies but would usually be less than 15 minutes.

I have tried using the standard Xserver-xorg-video-intel with DRI
disabled, and a retro version of the same package, but the problem
persists. Also tried adding "nomodeset" to the kernel command line when
booting, which likewise made no difference.

Hardy has run without issue on this machine, and as far as I can tell,
Jaunty also. (I ran it for an hour or more from the live CD without
problems.)

The batchbuffer dump archive is attached. I reinstalled the standard
Xserver-xorg-video-intel package for this test.
