[Bug 479641] Re: when memory runs low, xorg locks up and does not unlock when memory conditions improve

[themusicgod1]

I tested this on the karmic, lucid, and debian sid/experimental versions of xserver-xorg-video-intel and the problem remained.  Installed debugging symbols for xorg, and brought it up in gdb(in a 'normal' situation, ie when gdm first loads, the backtrace had meaningful information, although not (yet) source lines), and when the freeze occurs, all I get is
"
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame()
#2 0x00e9f07 in ??  () from lib.so.6
#1 0x00f07ae3 in ??  () from lib.so.6
#0 0x00d01422 in ?? __kernel_vsyscall ()
"

It should be noted that this same hardware appears to not exhibit this
bug on debian stable where the i810 driver is used (it's an 830).
