After a day or so, if I try to exit and restart X X locks up, screen garbles and the following is in Xorg.0.log shows: WW) intel(0): drmDropMaster failed: Unknown error: -1 (II) intel(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) intel(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xc510a000 at 0x28851000 (II) intel(0): [drm] Closed DRM master. While the console shows http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/jimmiejaz/xcrash.jpg making it useless. If I switch to the vesa driver, will I get stuck with stupid resolution, like 1024x768, and what will I be missing out on (aside from the crashes)? Opinions please? vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x25821043 chip=0x25828086 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82915G/GV/GL, 82910GL Integrated Graphics Device' class = display subclass = VGA ~>xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1600 VGA connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 306mm x 230mm 1600x1200 65.0* 1280x1024 75.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0 43.5 832x624 74.6 -- Over the years I've come to regard you as people I've met.
