Nope, it's not working for me (precise). I activated the xorg-edgers PPA both on my server and clients, and I can't even start an OpenGL application. I get this error:
root@LTClient128-01:/localhome/linadmin# glxinfo name of display: :7 X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (X_GLXIsDirect) Serial number of failed request: 23 Current serial number in output stream: 22 That's even worse than before: OpenGL applications were instable before, now they won't even run. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 Title: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel This is a MASTER bug report, i.e. not a real bug report, but a tool to help manage other bug reports. Most bug reports on i845 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency problem that is now consolidated upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345 . For now, we mark all automatically reported GPU lockups as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not to. To use the available fix, run the following commands: apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/855gm-fix apt-add-repository ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-fixes apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver aptitude update aptitude install linux 855gm-fix-dkms aptitude dist-upgrade There is a similar master bug report for i855 at bug 541511.
