** Summary changed: - xorg on intel freezes on startup when using a kernel with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G + xorg on intel freezes on startup when using a kernel with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G and AccelMethod is set to UXA
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel On Ubuntu Jaunty Alpha3 with all the latest updates(28.1.2009) the xorg freezes when starting, only when the system is running a kernel with the option CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G enabled. This has been experienced on thinkpad x300 with 4GB of memory, with a GM965/GL960 graphics controller. I firstly experienced this problem when i tried the linux-server kernel. The system boots fine, but when i start X then the graphics completely freeze. I am able to reboot the machine with alt-ctrl-delete, although nothing is shown on the screen until it resets. The same system with the linux-generic kernel works fine. - I recompiled the kernel shipped with jaunty, using the linux-generic - config file and changing only the kernel support to be for 64GB of - memory CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y. The result was the exactly the same like - using the linux-server kernel. The graphics freeze but the computer can - be rebooted. + I recompiled the kernel shipped with jaunty, using the linux-generic config file and changing only the kernel support to be for 64GB of memory CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y.

With the AccelMethod set to EXA, the X server works also with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G kernels packages: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu1 kernel: 2.6.28-5-server -- xorg on intel freezes on startup when using a kernel with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G and AccelMethod is set to UXA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322356 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
