Public bug reported:
I've recently attempted to install and64 Edgy on my laptop and I find it
to be totally unusable in X (gnome or KDE). The X server will hang,
crash, etc within minutes (if not seconds) of using it, usually forcing
a reboot. The 32-bit version seems to work fine (haven't tested much,
but if it was *that* broken, I would have noticed). By default, Edgy
uses the i810 driver, but I also tried "vesa" and "intel" and it didn't
work better (actually, "intel" didn't show anything on the screen).
Hardware:
Dell Latitude D820 laptop
CPU: Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM
Intel embedded 950 graphics
Software:
Edgy Beta + most recent updates (2006-10-16).
No binary-only video card driver (or similar crap)
Extra info:
Not sure if it's related (could be), but I've noticed the following things as
well:
- Text console seems to work mostly fine, but I still had the ssh server
crashing a few times
- /proc/cpuinfo shows both CPU cores in 64-bit mode, but the kernel seems to
think they're running at 1 GHz (despite reporting a bogomips of 4000).
- Sometimes when I type, I get repeated keys
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
