Description of problem: When using the Intel experimental video driver on my thinkpad T60 with intel 945 gm, often my system will freeze, and the screen will show a bunch of gray block on a black screen moving around. If I switch to the 810 drivers, I don't have this issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.0.0-3.fc7 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-8.fc How reproducible: not very--this is intermittent. However, it happens usually on logout or system shutdown. Steps to Reproduce: 1. logout or shutdown 2. 3. Actual results: system freezes with lots of gray blocks on a black screen Expected results: successful logout or shutdown Additional info:
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Just a note that I'm able to reproduce this in nearly 100 % of cases using the xrandr command as described here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11525#c0 And it seems they fixed this upstream. I haven't tested it yet, though. (and I'm not running Fedora on this HW, anyway) Should be commit eecd3ccedee6c4acf101591f7e60673660379e62 in master branch of xf86-video-intel. (I wanted to paste a link to gitweb, but gitweb.fd.o seems dead)
Yeah, 9xx should be pretty solid at this point. Please retest when you can and update the bug.
(as far as I'm concerned, that single patch -- which I applied manually -- fixed all my problems and X+intel have been really solid since)
Tomas, I know this isn't really a Fedora issue at this point since you manually applied the patch, but I wonder if you could test upstream git? I made some changes in this area recently and hopefully things will still work for you. If not, I'd definitely appreciate if you could file a bug at freedesktop.org against the intel driver for the problem. Thanks, Jesse
I updated to latest git and things seem to work. If they stop, I'll make a note about it :)
I guess, this is not NEEDINFO anymore.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Thank you for the bug report. Closing bug as per comment #7. If you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release, reopen this bug against that version if this bug exists there.
