as others above i could only get into kde by setting DRI to false within the device section of xorg.conf. I boot into the cli and then startx. No kdm. before the DRI fix, it would typically freeze during the splash sequence, though sometimes it would make it to the desktop with mouse moving but otherwise not functioning. No keyboard either. it is 3/22/09 and i am updated to all the latest jaunty versions of kernel and intel and xorg and libdrm; and still not working for the 865g without a hack. Anyway! Yes running a video will crash the desktop. Most of the time i end up at the cli (no kdm) with xorg messages there in print to read. the xorg.0.log message says "could not pin xv". so i startx into kde and open mplayer and and go to preferences to set video from xv to gl. then to real player to turn xv off. then to electricsheep screensaver to set it from xv to gl. I control alt backspace and then startx again and yes i can do the electricsheep without crashing the desktop. Oh, by the way, electricsheep uses mplayer to run the sheep. Those interested, please note: in systemsettings within the desktop icon/desktop effects/advanced tab; I have compositing type set to "xrender". I had to change it from the default "opengl" to get transparent effects in the panel and for konsole and some plasmoids. Those still interested please also note: I have been running jaunty for months. I have been using the xorg packages from intrepid. Everything on my system is the latest jaunty versions, except xorg. everything has worked "fine" "slow but functional" for months. if interested and AT YOUR OWN risk, just go to packages.ubuntu.com and download the xorgs you need from intrepid. then do "apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg". now go to directory containg all those xserver-xorg packages and do a "dpkg -i xserver*". i must have gone back and forth with this a number of times. every time the repositories show a new version of xorg-intel i do a full upgrade and crash the desktop. lukily i got my little stash of intrepid xorg to get me back in. THANKS guys for showing me the way with DRI false. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log.old" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24240712/Xorg.0.log.old -- [i845G] Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer (Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304871 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
