Yes, there is a i965 random / rare crash regression that entered ubuntu apparently after beta 1. Because it is really random and rare it's been very hard to debug and it is not narrowed down. Most people I've talked with about it are having it maybe a few times a week max, so that's really impractical for doing git bisection and such. >From the dates of i965 bug reports, it seems to have entered roughly around the time that we merged updates of xserver and mesa, however there were a lot of other changes to the kernel, -intel, grub, and other components around then too. I've filed it upstream in hopes it was a known issue, but unfortunately as of yet no reply from them: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36515 One other i965 gpu lockup is caused by a missed write by mesa 7.10.1. No patch available but suggests maybe bisecting mesa from 7.10.0 to 7.10.1 would turn up something. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35864 Bryce -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
