Dear Justin

Thanks for your help.

2: If switching to the vesa driver is just

  $ diff xorg.conf.intel xorg.conf.vesa
  69c69
  <  Driver      "intel"
  ---
  >  Driver      "vesa"

and

  # Xorg -config xorg.conf.vesa

Then that was worse: the crash was faster, and the error log was longer. config and log here:

1: I downloaded the i386 tarball, and I see /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-intel. Is there a man page or a tutorial that will explain how I should delete the existing driver and install the old one? For the last five years my main machine has been a mac.

Thanks

Ivan

I've got an similar problem on a thinkpad X30 with Intel's i830 Chipset

On DragonFly 3.2.2 X has worked fine.

It's sounding like there's something in x11/xf86-video-intel, or at
least that seems to be the common thread.

You could:

1: Delete the existing driver and install the old one and see what that does.

http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.2/stable/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz
http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-3.2/stable/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz

(pick the appropriate link for your architecture, 32 or 64 bit)

or, 2:

Switch to the vesa driver in xorg.conf and see if the problem goes
away (probably an easier test.)

If the problem goes away when you switch to vesa, it's the driver.  If
it goes away when you switch to the older version of the driver, it's
the current version of the driver.  If it doesn't go away, I'm not
sure...
