Let me know if there are any tests which I could do. Not sure if this is relevant: I'm currently running 2.6.30rc3, and rc4 got a lot of fixes (well, at least changes) for the i915 kernel driver. Maybe this helps? Also, Seife's situation (on 965GM) is much worse, maybe he can comment on his experiences. To make the confusion complete: Holger has also a newer Intel graphics chip and does not have any issues at all (he's using X11:XOrg packages with a 2.6.29 kernel). It also seems that the following factors are relevant for outlined issues: * using compiz (yes/no) * starting X with an external display (yes/no) -- 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.

Wow! Positive feedback for an intel driver update!

Yes! I know it's unlikely (and the driver still has enough problems ;), but the change titled * Fix multiplication error when computing required batch space. This could fix any number of cases where the driver did inexplicable things (due to having computed the wrong size).

Using KDE4, if you open Yast2 go to Security and Users -> User & Group Administration and then switch between three different tabs, the system frequently 'hangs'. None of the keys are active, although the mouse still works, and I can access the system via ssh from another machine. Top run via ssh does not show any excessive usage. The shutdown and init commands are ineffective UNLESS I kill all of the X releated processes. If I kill all of the X processes, the screen of the hung system goes blank, but the keyboard is still unusable. I can, however, now reboot via ssh. These yast functions never hang when run from the command line outside of KDE. Other packages such as FireFox also cause the same issue. The problem is not consistent and does not happen every time although it seems to be more likely the longer the system has been running. I have occasionally had a similar problem under SuSE 11.1 and KED3 or KDE4 if I switched back and forth between the GUI and another terminal session using the ctrl-Alt-f# keys, although in those cases, the screen would go black. On this same hardware under SuSE 11.1 KDE3 or KDE4, or SuSE 11.0, I have never had this problem (where the system hangs while I am actively using it). -- 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.
