The lockup you describe is the same as I am seeing on my 965, but I only get it after a restart. Does your xorg.log indicate that pre-existing errors in hardware state are present? specifically ESR being set? If I'm reading the docs correctly, if ESR = 0x01 it is a parse error, which suggests that mesa may bee trashing the hardware. I did find a patch from one of the intel guys in the maze of branches that might impact this, which I'm going to test out today. I use gdm to start everything up and as long as I don't log out or restart X everything works fine. That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'm still digging for a solution. From the reports I've gotten, radeon does not suffer this same issue. robert. > related hardware: > > hostb0@pci0:0:0:0: class=0x060000 card=0x30a2103c chip=0x27a08086 rev=0x03 > hdr=0x00 > vendor = 'Intel Corporation' > device = '955XM/945GM/PM/GMS/940GML Express Processor to DRAM > Controller' > class = bridge > subclass = HOST-PCI > vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x30a2103c chip=0x27a28086 > rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 > vendor = 'Intel Corporation' > device = 'Mobile 945GM/GU Express Integrated Graphics Controller' > class = display > subclass = VGA > vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x30a2103c chip=0x27a68086 > rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 > vendor = 'Intel Corporation' > device = 'Mobile 945GM/GU Express Integrated Graphics Controller' > class = display > > also if Xorg is never started, trying to unload agp.ko > (after unloading i915.ko and drm.ko) module will cause panic.
