Just to add a datapoint: I have a new box with a G45 part. All software (including ports) is up-to-date as of a couple of days ago. With 7-stable, I sometimes experience lock-ups when starting or stopping X, about 1 in 3 attempts fail. The failure may well be interrupt related. The monitor blanks (no signal) and the keyboard is unresponsive (cannot toggle caps-lock light). A reset is required. Once I get past startup, everything seems to be working fine. I applied the Current DRM changes to see if they would help. With the changes from Current, I experienced lockup on every attempt to start X. If there is any value, I can provide dmesg, logs, etc. Thanks for all the work and time you spend on this. Cheers, -- Norbert Papke. npapke@acm.org
