Hi-
I have a radeon HD3000 graphics chipset. It works fine unless I try
to do something graphics-intensive (video game, say) in which case
after ~half an hour the Xserver hangs with many messages written to
the system console about how it "couldn't schedule IB". If I can get
to VT1 (which I can't always), C-c successfully kills X, but startx
then just gives more error messages immediately, even without
anything graphics-intensive. Starting X the second time in a
different VT doesn't help. Googling reveals that this was a known
problem in the kernel in roughly 2012; but, while my system is old,
it's not that old (kernel version is 3.10, which came out roughly a
year after the supposed fix to the known problem was merged). Any
thoughts? I'm reluctant to move all the way to current kernel ---
might break something more important than video games --- but I
could update (preferably by only a few kernel versions) if there was
real reason to believe that would help.
