Hello,
I've also got an intel gm45 chipset in my satellite pro laptop.
I installed opensuse 11.1(x86_64) with the vanilla kernel from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/openSUSE_11.1/
and the xorg from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/
I needed the kernel to get my wifi working (also intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100)
Then my Xorg stopped working
So I also upgraded my Xorg
I found this entry for the xorg.conf device section that took care of the
problem
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
This one is also needed if it is not there
Option "EXANoComposite"
Now I got X and with 3d desktop effects (i have dri enabled), but after a while
x becomes very slow to react, for example opening a new tab in firefox
completely locks the system for several seconds after which the system resumes
function.
This becomes worse when time passes even without switching tabs in ff or
switching apps, until it is so bad the system is no longer functional and I
need to reboot or power cycle if reboot is no longer responding.
This effect takes a few minutes to establish, large applications help speed up
this process (firefox with flash applications in multiple tabs, open office
with big document,adobe acrobat reader, the adobe software is very good to
reproduce the effect)
my 2cents
below is the output from hwinfo --gfx on my system
Cheers
