Bug#699656: general: System freezes while using multimedia via DRI [Intel 82865G chip] on kernels above 3.2.0-3-686-pae
Package: general
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear developers,
Almost everytime [it happens randomly] I try to see some video content via DRI
[VLC/XBMC, etc] on kernels with version higher than 3.2.0-3-686-pae the whole
system freeze [screen goes black, system is unresponsive, can't switch
consoles, monitor goes into "power/suspend/no signal mode"].
It happens with xorg.conf and without it.
Disabling DRI [xorg.conf: Option "DRI" false] seems to resolve the problem, but
then video is unusable [can't watch anything].
I already reported this bug for the previous version of kernel [bug report
#693083], but the problem is still unsolved.++
