I'm seeing exactly the same issue on my Dell Latitude D400 with Intel 855GM graphics on a clean install of Hardy. The laptop completely freezes with a blank screen and nothing can be done but force a hard power-down. Forcing X.org to use the i810 driver by editing xorg.conf seems to avert the problem.
I would suggest this is more significant than Medium importance seeing as it leads to a total system freeze, requiring a hard power down to clear, when performing what should be a 'normal' activity. The average user is not going to know to edit x.org and change the driver to fix this problem. I'm happy to provide any other information which may be useful. -- [hardy] blank screen on 855GM when playing video using intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221316 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
