(3) then, the launchpad.net site notes (https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix) an 855GM fix of the 855GM problem noted in the freedesktop.org (intel i855GM) problem (reported here http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187) where there is a Ubuntu community live CD with this fixed (I downloaded and burned the CD and I will give it a try soon) http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568.
I downloaded the iso file for the Ubuntu community CD, burned it, and then today booted my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop with the i855GM graphics. The freeze that I experienced on openSUSE-11.2 and 11.3 M4 and M6 does NOT occur with this special Ubuntu community test version. I checked the Xorg.0.log file i that Ubuntu liveCD and the "Intel" driver (version 2.11) is being used with a Ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic kernel (which I presume has been specially patched with the fix noted here https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix. There are so many various fixes around, this is a bit confusing. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well I hadn't known the kernel.org patch, but it seems to be this one, for FC13: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25084 from: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15248#c35
I note this thread: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25325 where the assessment is the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch from FC13 is insufficient to fix these CPU/GPU coherency issues (comment-14 in that thread) with the final comment expressing the view that the patch in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 thread addresses the problem better. Comment #57 on this thread: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 also expresses the view that the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch , while an improvement, is also seriously lacking. And comment #61 in that thread sends one to this thread https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 again to purportedly address the problem. The https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 fix is the same one applied to the Ubuntu community test cd that I ran yesterday for about 3 hours with no problems. Special desktop effects functioned. Xrandr functioned. again, the patch is here: https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix But I conced this is confusing, and the above is the best I can do at the moment in trying to cut through the mass of posts on this subject. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I downloaded and booted to the FC13 liveCD, and my i855GM laptop still freezes immediately after X boot, as soon as the mouse is used. Since FC13 includes the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch (which is the one referenced) I can confirm that the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch is insufficient to prevent the freeze reported in this thread. I am still of the opinion that the closest thing we have to a fix is the freedesktop 27187 bug fix, post #158 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c158 in turn points to this proposed bug fix: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=35548 . However I can't point to a specific Linus 2.6 git tree patch. It could be there, I just do not know how/where to look. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
