Christopher, as soon as possible I'll have a look with a newest release based on xfce or lxde.

Federico Leoni, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases, Ubuntu 13.04 reached EOL on January 27, 2014.

I am running peppermint 4 on an IBM Thinkpad X30 which has the Intel 82830M/MG graphics controller and I had the same problem of frequent black screens and hang ups. The workaround that Federico mentioned also worked for me.

Understood Chris, sometimes I need to read with more attention, English is not my primary language. Seems my display simply can't handle 24bit color depth, if I force a 16bit color depth on xorg I can see great degrade of the render, clearly evident on desktop wallpaper (see pic). About the 24bit framebuffer, with or without UXA xdpyinfo and fbset shows the same values. effe@C400:~$ xdpyinfo | grep of root depth of root window:24 planes effe@C400:~$ sudo fbset -i mode 1024x768 geometry 1024 768 1024 768 32 timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 accel true rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name: inteldrmfb Address : 0xe002 Size: 3145728 Type: PACKED PIXELS Visual : TRUECOLOR XPanStep: 1 YPanStep: 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 4096 Accelerator : No Probably I miss something here, anyway the important thing is I found a workaround. The only thing I regret is I can't use liveCD to test future versions on this notebook as I can't set UXA via GRUB. ** Attachment added: 3.8.0-27_16bit_noUXA.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1186800/+attachment/3772494/+files/3.8.0-27_16bit_noUXA.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186800 Title: [830 v3.7 regression] Video goes blank and system hangs (using an old kernel fix it) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1186800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1186800] Re: [830 v3.7 regression] Video goes blank and system hangs (using an old kernel fix it)
Chris, I don't want to bother you but I have to insist: with the UXA accelmethod the problem does not occurs. I created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf instead of using the old xorg.conf and my notebook now works fine on both 13.04 (kernel 3.8.x) and 13.10 (3.10.x).

[Bug 1186800] Re: [830 v3.7 regression] Video goes blank and system hangs (using an old kernel fix it)
I've told you exactly what the issue is: No, that is a bug in adobe's software renderer not being able to handle any none 24-depth framebuffers. It equally affects you if have a 30- or 36-bpp monitor. The correct workaround here is specifying DefaultDepth 24 or just complaining to adobe. The active ingredient of your workaround is changing the framebuffer depth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186800 Title: [830 v3.7 regression] Video goes blank and system hangs (using an old kernel fix it) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1186800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1186800] Re: [830 v3.7 regression] Video goes blank and system hangs (using an old kernel fix it)
Chris, on Lubuntu mailing list we have a thread speaking about a workaround for another issue with xserver-xorg-video-intel and flash that seems to solve the problem I have. As reported on commentary #1 on bug 1178982, using UXA as accelmethod option on xorg.xonf solve the issue of that bug AND this one. My system seems quite stable now even when using kernel 3.10 and I cannot see any side effects for now. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178982 Direct link to the comment #1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178982/comments/1 Hope it helps found the problem.

My display is set to 1024x768x16bit and I can assure it's working fine now with UXA. I tested this render method only by accident to see if it will improve Flash on such an old machine. Just to let you know I'm using flash 10.x due to an incompatibility with my cpu and 11.x. As soon as I can I 'll upgrade my machine to the upcoming Lubuntu 13.10 to see if the bug is still present without setting UXA on xorg.conf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186800 Title: [830 v3.7 regression] Video goes blank and system hangs (using an old kernel fix it) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1186800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
