Hi, I've backported the patch from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 to the latest Lucid kernel. I'm using the fixed kernel modules since a week and all stability issues disappeared on my system. There are only two problems with the patch :
1. The "wandering dots" in the Plymouth boot-screen have false colors. 2. Some Gtk+-functions are slower than normal. But the situation is not as bad as it sounds. I can perfectly do my normal work (Browsing, emailing, etc.) and also play SDL- and OpenGL-based games without noticing any slowdowns. Only when running the "gtkperf"-Benchmark you can notice a slowdown (Mostly in the "Circles"-Benchmark). ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #27187 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 ** Patch added: "fix-i8xx-gtt-cache-coherency-v8-2.6.32.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46286654/fix-i8xx-gtt-cache-coherency-v8-2.6.32.patch -- [i855] Lucid Freeze shortly after X startup (needs KMS blacklist?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511001 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
