Could this be the same issue as in

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/4725...

In the process of research this I came across that "bug". It was filed against an older version of the Intel driver iirc and was fixed a while back. However, I did check my BIOS settings and PAVP was already disabled. So in other words, no, this is not the same issue. -- 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.

Hmm. Only slightly older driver (2.9.0 instead of 2.9.1), similar for xserver (1.6.4 instead of 1.6.5). The same kernel version, both have 2.6.31. So this would have been a reasonable explanation. I no longer have one - for now. :-( -- 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.

Unfortunately I only have these G4x machines:

8086:2e02 (IGD_E) 8086:2e12 (Q45)

So it's unlikely that I can reproduce that issue. :-(

So what does this mean? This problem will never get fixed?!?!

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555603 --- Comment #14 from j h 2009-11-16 18:17:32 UTC --- I'm severly disappointed with OpenSUSE 11.2. I tested 11.2 a while back and it would crash the xserver because they weren't packaing the proper intel driver version with the proper kernel version and/or the proper xserver version so testing 11.2 was not practical. Now upon final release I find the problem is just as bad, but in a different way. (At least I can use the OS without hardware acceleration). What about the first suggestion here?: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#Miscellaneous_problems_with_I... Think that might help? -- 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.

We don't use KMS by default and EXA is the default for acceleration anyway. I believe XAA is no longer possible at all.

I thought UXA was the new default that is recommend to be used? (At least I read that on the gentoo wiki, but maybe that information was outdated). I will attach some more info I found that may help via dmesg. -- 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.
