Created attachment 470209 [details] Xorg log Description of problem: Every ~15-20 secs The system freezes for ~100-400 ms. I noticed that on mouse cursor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0-6.fc14.1.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.9.3-3.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F14 from live CD on Thinkpad T61 with intel graphics 2. Boot up 3. Connect external monitor via DVI Actual results: freezes appear Expected results: freezes do not appear Additional info: I tried current upstream kernel 2.6.37-rc7+. There, the situation is better but yet still I experience some freezes (shorter and not so often). I tried to boot runlevel 3 and run only xinit. Same behaviour there.
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. Most of the fun in Xorg currently is in kernel, so /var/log/Xorg.0.log is useful, but only with limited value. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command AFTER the issue happens but BEFORE restart, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

I have no xorg.conf file.
Anything else I can do? The issue is starting to annoy me more and more.
Perhaps you did not stress this important detail enough: > 3. Connect external monitor via DVI i.e. The freezes are only happening as long as an external monitor is connected to the laptop. That's why the suspicion fell on xorg-x11-drv-intel, right? Do the freezes go away if the "poll=0" parameter is used for the drm_kms_helper module?

Looks like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29536 then.
My computer has been partially freezing for some months now. By partially freezing, I can open applications sometimes, but sometimes the application is only partially available, cannot navigate between buttons, some or perhaps all buttons unresponsive, clicking does nothing, buttons do not change when mouse passes over them. Menus items on the desktop are usually normal with drop down lists opening normally. Sometimes another application can be opened, but after one application is open I usually cannot open another (most of the time the application is Firefox or Chrome). If I succeed in opening an application, the screen locks entirely most of the time. I just purchased a new video card in the hopes the card was at issue with the same results. I have reinstalled the OS twice and the problem seems to go away after a fresh install, but soon returns during a software upgrade. I am losing all of my links during the OS reinstalls. My hardware is an MSI motherboard, intel i7 920 processor, 6 GByte memory, 1 TB SATA HD. Help!
Wayne, that sounds like a completely different issue.
Jiri, Perhaps it is. Should I open a new ticket? In addition to what I described above, when I cannot access a screen early on, it seems to be a mouse issue. I cannot access anything inside the on screen application (buttons are inactive) but I can tab between items and activate with the enter key. The menu items on main menu bar can be accessed with the mouse and other applications opened. I have to do a new OS install to return the system to a normal operational mode. The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool does not see any bugs. Also, I've had this issue with two different computers, an Asus g73J Laptop and a MSI motherboard Intel i7 920 processor and an ATI 5570 Graphics card.

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
