See the upstream bug mentioned in the commit. In https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47535#c14 it says "Linus merged the patch into the upstream kernel, and Greg picked it up for 3.3 stable. Hopefully should be landing in a distro near you. :)", which might not help 3.2, of course.
I just saw the commit in the overnight git log, saw that it fixed the problem, and worked out how to modify it to apply to 3.2 as a proof-of- concept. >From the upstream comment, it appears there is another workaround: "If upgrading kernels is inconvenient, you can also apply the workaround manually via "sudo intel_reg_write 0x2120 0x1206800", or by disabling HiZ and separate stencil (export hiz=false). (The kernel patch does the register write, so the intel_reg_write workaround is just as good.)" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975689 Title: X freezes completely running google earth on xserver-xorg-video-intel - IPEHR: 0x7a000002 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/975689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
