[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1510970] Re: Intel driver crashes on Ubuntu 15.10

I have a laptop with an old Intel 945G Chipset. When upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 Xorg already crashed on Startup before I was successfully logged in (have auto-login enabled). Applying the Workaround from #40 worked. I get into the Desktop session and everything seems stable. -- You received

The same for me. Today I rolled back the "uxa"-workaround by deleting the 20-intel.conf file from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (I didn't have one before the workaround). After a couple of hours I still haven't had a single crash. I guess 16.04 solved the problem. -- You received this bug notification
