Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.2.1-1 Severity: important Kernel: 2.6.24-1-686
I am experiencing the issue reported on the xorg bugtracker here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14867 It only occurs on my machines with intel q965 graphics chipsets (I have tested on 3 identical Dell Optiplex 745 desktops), and does not affect Intel (82)Q35 graphics chipsets (tested on Dell Optiplex 755 models). The symptom is: upon X starting, just before loading mouse cursor the screen goes black with a single non-blinking cursor in the top left corner. The machine does not respond to keyboard input, mouse input, or pings and must be power cycled. This symptom does not occur every time, but it occurs in the majority of cases (~80% of the time) I have tried building the version of xserver-xorg-video-intel in the xorg git tree according to the suggestion in the upstream bug report, it did not help, and so far exhibits the symptom described above 100% of the time. startx output seems to be getting buffered before it writes to the log file and consequently no new output appears in the Xorg.0.log after reboot. I can capture the output if I startx from a remote shell (output is listed below) ------------------------------------ $ lspci -nn | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2992] (rev 02) ====================================================================== remote-shell:# startx xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority X: warning; process set to priority -1 instead of requested priority 0 This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
