I can confirm that the patched xserver-xorg-core package to remove
offending patch, fixes the crash.

[Fixed] Intel driver (using EXA) crashes system
I've just updated to xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu1, and still
had to remove the patch 120_fedora_disable_offscreen_pixmaps.diff to be
able to use compiz with exa acceleration. Here is the patched package,
in case anyone else wants it.

Hi,
since I upgraded to Gutsy yesterday, my system now hangs up (apparentely
random) with the error:

I have an Intel i810 ( Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express)

Why next release? Until now there seems to be no negative efects, maybe
this fix just needs more testing to make sure there are no secondary
effects.

What I meant is that EXA isn't tested by many. Those who have report it
is slower, and there are some remaining bugs. Consider that newer intel
cards haven't been tested at all because of bugs like these. Anyways, I
suppose this is another thread of discussion. Sorry.

liminal,
I believe this should be fixed as soon as possible purely due to the
severity of the bug. If I'm using the EXA acceleration architecture and
try to run compiz, the machine hard-locks, and I have to force a power-
down, potentially damaging the hard-drive and hardware (happens on my
using the package attached to this bug, i can now use radeon+exa+compiz.
previously i was also having compiz crash X when using EXA.

I was the one that marked your bug as a duplicate, so I unmarked it

Try adding 'Option MigrationHeuristic greedy' to 'Section Device of

This is xserver-xorg-core patched to exclude the offending patch; if
anyone wants to test this package against the official one they are free
to do so.
Please see the discussion linked upstream; Michel Danzer has confirmed
