Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
What I report here is probably two ugly X-crash bugs in the new stable
release of kubuntu. The reason why I file a new bug is that they are
bugs on the stable intrepid with new X-packages.
They make my fujitsu-siemens lifebook laptop absolutelly hopeless to use
after upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid:
1) Inpredictable, but frequent x-crashes
The bug seems to identical bug #220019 that was assumed to be solved on Hardy
and earlier releases of intrepid. However, on xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.4.1
the problem makes X very unstable on my laptop.
2) mplayer full screen video and vlc crashes X
This really ugly as it kills all tty1-7. Your only chance is alternately using
ctrl-alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-delete.
I didn't experience these bug on Hardy, not even on kde-4.0 remix
version.
I would like to try installing the old Hardy drivers, but they conflict
with the rest of the xorg-core package, so it requires probably that I
go back to Hardy's X-system ... if that is possible. Incidentally, I
used the i810-driver on Hardy. But, the intrepid i810 driver makes the
screen go absolutely crazy with black-white-images passing fastly
downward on the screen.
I hope I have provided sufficient technical information on the bugs in
the attached file. If anyone would like more information, please tell
me.
