I am trying to update my brother-in-law's computer which is a Sony Vaio (~2001) with 11.4 and KDE (11.4's version).
And I keep getting random screens with B/W lines or just will not respond or several other errors.
When I look at the F10 screen, I see messages about DRM errors and GPU hanging too fast.......
What is the fix ?
IIRC, saving the following as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-composite.conf should do it:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
If it doesn't, let me know.
That did not do it - alas! Also, I updated the "Intel" driver from the Xorg repository, deleted the old libdrm, updated to the latest kernel and still have the same problem. So far, using the switch "x11failsafe" at boot time, that seems to be working although I can't change the screen to 1024x768.
