Since some days, maybe since the upgrade from xserver-xorg-core
from 2:1.4.2-6 to 2:1.4.2-7, the system has a total hangup when
I specify to use the intel driver in xorg.conf.
It runs fine without specification, in which case xorg choses
vesa (that`s why I report the bug for the intel package).
There's a reason we don't use the intel driver on cantiga by default.
It seems the problems got tracked down recently though, see below.
As seen below, I have the Intel Cantiga chipset runnin on the
Lenovo X200.
This happens with plain debian kernel (2.6.26) and also with
2.6.27-rc6.
The patches at [1] and [2] might help.
d-k: can we get the kernel part of this bug fixed in lenny?
Cheers,
Julien

The kernel patch is now in mainline, commit id
82e14a6215cbc9804ecc35281e973c6c8ce22fe7 (attached). I'll apply the X
driver fix soon.

Subject: [PATCH] agp: Fix stolen memory counting on G4X.
On the GM45, the amount of stolen memory mapped to the GTT was underestimated,
even though we had 508KB more available since the GTT doesn't take from
stolen memory. On the non-GM45 G4X, we overestimated how much stolen was
mapped to the GTT by 4KB, resulting in GPU page faults when that page was
accessed.
This update requires a corresponding update to xf86-video-intel to work
correctly.
