 please could you report with 2.12 from sid or 2.13 from experimental
 with sid's kernel? Details about versions can be read in:

Hi,

I came around testing the xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.12 and 2.13 versions with 
the unstable kernel as requested.

Both versions of the package start the X-server (that is already an improvement 
over the current linux-image-2.6.32-5-686/xserver-xorg-video-intel combination 
in testing)
and the issues initially reported in the bug are gone, i.e. shutdown, reboot, 
hibernate, logout all seem to work. The video acceleration seems
to work, too.

I have however had some issues with the xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.12 that 
don't occur with the 2.13 version. Using any application that tries
to switch the screen resolution (like running dosbox or wine with a game with 
non-native resolution in fullscreen mode) kills X which is then
promptly restarted and asks for a user log-in. The easiest way to reproduce 
this bug is to start dosbox and press Alt+Return for fullscreen
mode which seems to trigger this bug 100% of the time.
The 2.12 version apparently does not like 3D-Applications either, since Tux 
Racer crashed the X-server to in a very reproducible fashion.

The 2.13 version doesn't have quite the same problems. It handles screen 
resolution changes fine, and start games like Tux Racer and Scorch3D,
nevertheless I had a few crashes of the X-server with 2.13, too.
This bug was a little harder to trigger, but opening enough applications 
including 3D ones usually did the trick and killed X.
After the bug was triggered once though, trying to start a 3D application 
always killed X and trying to play a movie with mplayer showed a blue window 
instead of the movie.


So hope this helps. If you want me to test something else, let me know.

LN2

So, since the original problem were solved, maybe it would be more 
appropriate to close this bug and start another one.



I have however had some issues with the xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.12

I have an i855 too and for me 2.13 was a big improvement, particularly 
on the stability front. I'm not a gamer and i don't use 
suspend/hibernate, but i use this computer everyday for many hour and i 
haven't seen a crash or an hang since i've installed it. Both with 
kernel 2.6.32 and 2.6.35.
And on the speed front i haven't noted performance regression (even if 
seems there are).



The 2.13 version doesn't have quite the same problems. It handles
screen resolution changes fine, and start games like Tux Racer and
Scorch3D, nevertheless I had a few crashes of the X-server with 2.13,

Good analisys.
Me too now can now put Youtube video fullscreen without make X crash.
Would be perfect if we could find a set of reproducible step to induce 
one of this bug, so that we could file a precise bug report.

If you find it, let me know, so we can compare the results.

Ciao.

Cesare.

That should be fixed with unstable's xserver-xorg-core package (which
should move to testing very soon).

 The 2.12 version apparently does not like 3D-Applications either,
 since Tux Racer crashed the X-server to in a very reproducible
 fashion.
 
Could you file a separate bug for that, including the X log from the
crash?

Thanks,
Julien

Bug#567475: xserver-xorg-video-intel: The latest update to testing broke some functionality on 855GM cards

2010-01-29 Thread LN2
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.9.1-2
Severity: important


Since the latest update of xserver-xorg-video-intel to debian testing, I have 
experienced a number of problems.

Shutdown, Reboot, Hibernate, Logout cause the system to freeze with a blank 
screen. The Alt+SysRq key combination does not work (I have not tried ssh yet).

Trying to switch to a text terminal with Ctrl+Alt+(F1 ... F6) causes the system 
to freeze.

The video acceleration with the xv driver seems to have stopped working, e.g.
mplayer -vo xv does not work.

If you need any further information/testing please feel free to contact me.
