Well, recently I tried using the Lucid kernel 2.6.32-5 and I was still experiencing lockups, so I removed that kernel and reverted to Karmic 2.6.31-15 and decided to give Xorg a look.
What I did was use the xorg crack pushers PPA: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa That upgraded all of the following: libdrm-intel1 (2.4.14-1ubuntu1) to 2.4.15+git20091125.6f66de98-0ubuntu0tormod~karmic libdrm-radeon1 (2.4.14-1ubuntu1) to 2.4.15+git20091125.6f66de98-0ubuntu0tormod~karmic libdrm2 (2.4.14-1ubuntu1) to 2.4.15+git20091125.6f66de98-0ubuntu0tormod~karmic libgl1-mesa-dri (7.6.0-1ubuntu4) to 7.7.0~git20091201+mesa-7-7-branch.f17dbe25-0ubuntu0tormod3 libgl1-mesa-glx (7.6.0-1ubuntu4) to 7.7.0~git20091201+mesa-7-7-branch.f17dbe25-0ubuntu0tormod3 libglu1-mesa (7.6.0-1ubuntu4) to 7.7.0~git20091201+mesa-7-7-branch.f17dbe25-0ubuntu0tormod3 mesa-utils (7.6.0-1ubuntu4) to 7.7.0~git20091201+mesa-7-7-branch.f17dbe25-0ubuntu0tormod3 xserver-common (2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1) to 2:1.6.5+git20091107+server-1.6-branch.2dbcb06a-0ubuntu0sarvatt~karmic xserver-xorg-core (2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1) to 2:1.6.5+git20091107+server-1.6-branch.2dbcb06a-0ubuntu0sarvatt~karmic xserver-xorg-input-evdev (1:2.2.5-1ubuntu6) to 1:2.3.0+git20091107.a0f7f34d-0ubuntu0sarvatt4~karmic xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (1.1.2-1ubuntu7) to 1:1.2.0+git20091107.e6b1a4ef-0ubuntu0sarvatt2~karmic xserver-xorg-video-ati (1:6.12.99+git20090929.7968e1fb-0ubuntu1) to 1:6.12.99+git20091201.88a50a30-0ubuntu0tormod~karmic xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2) to 2:2.9.0+git20091130.2.6729b508-0ubuntu0tormod~karmic xserver-xorg-video-nv (1:2.1.14-2ubuntu3) to 1:2.1.15~git20090911.0250f0d7-0ubuntu0tormod xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (1:0.2.903+svn758-0ubuntu1) to 1:0.2.904~svn814-0ubuntu0tormod xserver-xorg-video-radeon (1:6.12.99+git20090929.7968e1fb-0ubuntu1) to 1:6.12.99+git20091201.88a50a30-0ubuntu0tormod~karmic About 24 hours later and no more lockups, but I can't guarantee anything! This AM I disabled (but did not remove) that PPA (rejecting 3 new updates) just to see how things go. And of course we use different graphics drivers, but there are some common packages. No doubt there are some risks involved but for me Karmic is largely unusable otherwise so I'm willing to try almost anything within reason. Just be sure you read that whole page before proceeding, I don't want to be even remotely responsible for killing someone else's system! -- Hard lockups with new kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475010 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
