LegoAddict: I have some bad news for you. My errors turned out to be because of catastrophic hardware failure. Rebooting into Windows confirmed this - my Windows desktop became corrupted almost instantly, and it would flash on & off, turning down the graphics acceleration until it became stable ( I wish X & drivers had done this ). In the end, Windows refused to activate the 3D accelerator at all, and disabled almost all 2D acceleration.
As for exactly what caused this, I'm not sure. Perhaps my hardware overheated ( possible ). Perhaps it was the result of the very strange display corruption I always got when switching from X <==> VT or back ( lockup, with dark colours that fade to light colours over time ). It always looked kinda scary. I'm a little suspicious it was bad for the hardware. Anyway, I would check that you can still activate ( and use ) the 3D accelerator in Windows before continuing. As people in the #DRI channel told me, [mi] EQ overflowing & [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping is a symptom of the hardware locking up. It can be caused by multiple things, and unfortunately hardware failure is one of them. -- Xorg hangs due to EQ overflowing when EXA enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
