I have Inspiron 700m and I didn't have any problems earlier (when
xserver-xorg-video-intel had problems as discussed above). But, suddenly (in
last two weeks) I started to experience the problem of "black screen of death"
when I play videos. I'm using Hardy, as far as I heard Ibex installation
removes those problems but my question is why am I experiencing this problem
after package is updated?
Here are some information: The evidence 1 shows the xserver-intel package was
updated on 10-31-08 which is when the problems started to occur.
Evidence 2 is the Xorg.conf file attachement. The only customization I remember
is adding virtual screen size to allow extended desktop in dual monitor setup
via grandr/xrandr. Is there any line in my Xorg.conf which contradicts the new
version of xserver-xorg-video-intel?
Evidence 3 is my current package information about xserver-xorg-video-intel.
