Yesterday I updated to Brians xserver-xorg-video-intel 5:2.8.1-karmic and got two freezes again already (using kernel 2.6.31-11). Also got in my Kernel.log: gvfsd-metadata[2008]: segfault at 8 ip 0804d2ea sp bfec7070 error 4 in gvfsd-metadata[8048000+c000] Sometimes X crashes when using

i testes libdrm 1:2.4.11-2+karmic3 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 4:2.8.0.901+karmic from Brian now several days with kernel 2.6.31-11-generic. the later freeze didnt happen anmore! either it is very rare now or the problem is resolved. with 2.6.31-17-generic it still happens. -- [i855] x

I installed libdrm 1:2.4.11-2+karmic3 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 4:2.8.0.901+karmic from Brian and booted with kernel 2.6.31-17-generic. The free at login screen didn't happen anymore! But i still got my screen frozen after 2 hours later by the other bug. -- [i855] x freezing often

[Bug 496187] Re: [i855] x freezing often while surfing , mouse still moving

Strange... A couple of others have responded that installing older libdrm and xserver-xorg-video-intel still gave them freezes with the Karmic kernel. Maybe there are different bugs here... -- [i855] x freezing often while surfing , mouse still moving https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496187 You

[Bug 496187] Re: [i855] x freezing often while surfing , mouse still moving

Actually, Olie (bug 447892, comment #68) only reported to have downgraded -intel and not libdrm. Irihapeti (bug 477256) tested -intel 3:2.8.1-1ubuntu3+karmic. So none of them tested exactly the same as you. I've asked them to. If we can identify a change in libdrm and/or -intel that triggers the

thanks. i tried the kernel with nopae support. it is booting. the 600 will freeze while typing the login password in the gui, but the 599 seems to be working fine! So seems bug 447892 is also affecting me. -- [i855] x freezing often while surfing , mouse still moving

[Bug 496187] Re: [i855] x freezing often while surfing , mouse still moving

[This comment goes to freeze bugs on intel 855GM] At bug 456902 (similar freezes on 845G) there is currently an effort to find where xserver-xorg-video-intel and/or libdrm changed and so that the freezes were triggered. Brian Rogers has a PPA that he is updating libdrm and -intel until they catch

The bug 447892 sounds like the one i have when using newer kernels than 2.6.31-12 or newer. I installed the two test kernels, but they are not starting, because my cpu has no aes support. -- [i855] x freezing often while surfing , mouse still moving https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496187 You

I don't know what AES support in the kernel is (that doesn't mean much, I'm not very experienced when it comes to compiling kernels). Normally, by AES we mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard, but as far as I know, very few kernels have hardware support for this. On the

phran, at bug 447892 we have identified the commit to the kernel that triggered the freezes for many people on 855GM chipsets. Could you also test the before (599) and after (600) kernels to check if this is the bad commit for you as well? See comment #59 at bug 447892 for details. -- [i855] x
