Bump. After attaching a few log files to the bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29931, they concluded that was not a bug in the Intel driver, but in compiz.

Experiencing this issue with Natty 11.04 on a 5810T. I erroneously created another bug report for this issue at this URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/783262 Here's the description as my comment here. Feel free to remove the other bug, if this is the proper place. This issue happens nearly every time I press the Function key in conjunction with the left or right arrows. I often intend to press Ctrl + Arrows to move the cursor, but the Function key is adjacent to Ctrl. What happens, the following symptoms are observed. The desktop is preserved as it was at the time of the crash. The system time never advances nor does any other visual indicator update (such as network disconnect, media insert, etc). I can move the mouse about the screen, but the pointer does not change based upon the context and no clicks are registered. No keystrokes are registered. I cannot press Special (Window) + F2 or Special + Escape to bring up any system menus. I have needed to restart the computer to correct this. (I can test again with less drastic steps if anyone wishes to make recommendations.) (I believe the issue is with xorg-server, not various gnome processes.) I am using an Acer Aspire Timeline 5810T, a laptop. Here is a interesting series of steps that will reproduce this issue every time: Boot the computer. At the GDM login screen, prior to logging in... Press Function + Left Arrow and Function + Right Arrow a couple of times. Notice that there is a screen overlay that shows the brightness level in the upper right corner (LCD brightness is mapped to my FN + Arrows) At this point I can still use the mouse and keystrokes are still being registered. Log into the system by selecting a user account and entering a password. You will begin to see the desktop load, accompanied by a login sound. The cursor changes to a waiting icon. At this point, the system ceases to be responsive any further, according to the description provided above. The mouse will still move the wait cursor around the screen. Keystrokes other than Ctrl + Alt + F# are not recognized.

When I examined the function key press using logkeys (http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/) I noticed that a single key press of the Function key alone registers two times. E-1d0E-1d0 The documentation for the logkeys logfile format, indicates that 1d0 is the keycode in hexadecimal format. Perhaps this registration of this keypress two times is contributing to the error? Is the patch mentioned by Martin in comment #60 supposed to remove the instability during brightness adjustments? I'm using kernel version 2.6.38-8 and still experiencing the issue. I am not sure where to check in the /sys or /proc filesystem to determine the number of brightness levels that are supposed to be available to the system, or the current setting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446717 Title: [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hey, thanks for whatever you've been able to do. Me, I've just given up on this — it can hardly be considered a high priority to fix a bug that seems only to affect a discontinued line of aging laptops (I haven't seen this problem arising for Timeline [345]820 users) — and have simply turned off visual effects. That's obviously not an optimal solution — some of that eye candy is very useful, especially the Exposé-like feature — but it solves the freeze problem and still leaves you with a very functional OS. -TexLogic On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 5:14 AM, Attilio ne...@tele2.it wrote: @TexLogic: since this bug is still unassigned, most probably not!

[Bug 446717] Re: [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models
Well +1 :-( I'm running Lucid on a 4810TG (with ATI, but not using the ATI card, because it drains my battery, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7933876postcount=11 for a module that powers off the ATI card.) My tries to fix include the following: - Tried kernel 2.6.34 (package from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/): No change, still get a freeze - Tried the acpi_backlight=vendor boot option: No change - Tried the nomodeset and acpi_backlight=vendor boot options: Seems to fix it, BUT nomodeset breaks lots of stuff for me, so this is not an acceptable option. There is a working way to set the brightness (see script below Brightness Control 9.10 on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireTimeline/Fixes). So all I need for a satisfactory workaround is a way to prevent the kernel and friends from trying to set the brightness. Didn't manage to do so yet: 1) Tried the acpi.brightness_switch_enabled=0 boot option: No change (even seems like this does not work at all, because less /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled still shows Y) 2) Tried echo 0 /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled (as root): No change, still changes the brightness and freezes 3) Tried the acpi_backlight=vendor boot option and additionally modprobe -r acer_wmi (acer_wmi is the module I suspect to be in charge when the vendor option is passed): No change 4) 3) + modprobe -r acer_wmi: No change So: Is there some way to prevent the kernel and modules from trying to set the brightness? This is really annoying because when you remove the AC plug it tries to change the brightness and freezes... -- [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 446717] Re: [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models
Hi everyone, I have an Acer 4810TG which is affected by this bug. I have 3 OSs installed: Windows 7 64bit, Ubuntu 10.4 32bit and Fedora 13 64bit (KDE only), and the bios version is 1.35 (released April 22nd). The new bios didn't make any difference for me, otherwise here is what i could observe: -on W7, the brightness hotkeys do work, but not very accurately: i can apparently set 10 different levels, but the lower three have the same brightness, so that the last 2 keypresses when decreasing, and 2 when increasing it cause no effect at all; furthermore i have no OSD feedback. These glitches could be sign of poor support to W7 from Acer, I had Vista preinstalled. - On Ubuntu with the given workaround (nomodeset apci_backlight=vendor) the controls work very well, ~20 levels with the nice OSD. Unfortunately this cannot be done in F13, which requires KMS on intel cards. - On Ubuntu and Fedora with desktop effects disabled, and default kernel arguments (except i8042.nomux, needed for a touchpad bug), thus with KMS enabled, i have a behavior similar to W7, but with even more inaccurate control: the number of levels is not fixed, and i get an OSD which, at least on Fedora, shows incorrect values. What's more interesting is that as soon as i reactivate compositing everything freezes. In Ubuntu the only way to recover control is to forcibly shut down the notebook, whilst in fedora i can restart the X server (with ctrl+alt+back) but only start new sessions without compositing, if i login to a user having it enabled i get stuck at the loading splashscreen. An interesting fact is that ANY OPENGL ACTIVITY seems to trigger the bug, not only enabling desktop compositing but also starting glxgears for example causes me a system freeze, although not always immediately. I think this bug is not in compiz, but in kernel modesetting instead! Unluckily I currently don't have the time to do much further testing, such as some with the Radeon discrete GPU (i got some freezes with that to, anyway). -- [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've noticed that as well — although I stopped using the nomodeset option because it would prevent Ubuntu from being able to give me a console size and font suitable to the 1366x768 display on my Acer (170x45) and instead force an ugly 80x24 console.

This would possibly indicate a notify-osd issue. I am able to turn on metacity compositing and adjust the brightness with no problem, just as with kwin. Thanks a lot. It would be great to get this bug stamped out. Compiz works fantastically well on this machine but for this problem.

Since you can reproduce this easily it would be good if someone could reproduce it, SSH into the machine, and run “apport-collect 446717”. Additionally, since this seems to work fine under KDE it would be good to check if it works with metacity's compositor, too. You can enable that by turning off desktop effects and running “gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true” from a terminal.

This bug is most definitely still present under Lucid. I'm running the latest updates as of April 17. Please nominate! Unfortunately, I can't find anything specific in the relevant logs to indicate the problem. Note this is definitely a compiz issue. It does not happen under kwin with full effects. Also, it does not freeze the system, just the GUI; I can ssh in to the machine and kill X or reboot remotely. -- [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm using lucid beta 2 and it definitely effects me, if I change brightness it freezes, the same has happened with kernel 2.6.34 rc1 as well as the default kernel.
