High instability matrox Xorg 6.8.2 kernel 2.6.14
Hello,
I have Xorg 6.8.2 and a matrox G550 AGP. Since the last upgrade of
Xorg in unstable (which, alas for the gods of Debugging, happened to
be at the same time as my upgrade to kernel 2.6.14), my screen
sometimes freezes (well, always freezes, but unpredictably).
jcdubacq@penpen:~$ LANG=C apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg:
Installed: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10
[...]
jcdubacq@penpen:~$ uname -r
2.6.14-1-686
The machine otherwise works perfectly. The Xserver even responds (I
can contact the X server). It's just that keyboard input and screen
output is frozen.
Has anybody already seen anything resembling to those symptoms? Any
hint?
Btw: I one saw the freeze while operating through VNC, and the
Xserver really got frozen. Installing the matrox proprietary drivers
(v4.2) did not change anything. Using local socket communication
"seems" to increase the risk of freezing.
