Bug#428796: i810 and X-server hard-lock
Hi Evgeniy,
The invalid opcode error looks similar to the one in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404885. The guy is
using the vesa driver. You might want to test with the vesa driver
instead of i810 and see whether the same problem occurs (but you won't
have accelerated 3D with vesa). If it still occurs, we'll have to
reassign this bug to the server core instead of the i810 driver.
About the i810 driver, it has been largely reworked since version 1.7.
It is now superseded with the Intel driver 2.0
(xserver-xorg-video-intel). Its first release had multiple problems on
your i855, but most of them are now fixed in the latest git snapshot of
the driver. So, if you want to test it, you have to install
xserver-xorg-core 1.3 (currently in testing) and
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-5 currently in experimental. All this
will require to upgrade several packages such as the libc6.
Also, since your attached file suggests that you might have been trying
multiple heads in the past, you have to know that mode detection has
been greatly improved in the new Xserver 1.3 and intel driver 2.0. Most
of the stuff in xorg.conf to manage resolutions, modes and multiple
heads is useless nowadays. You might want to look at section #6 and #7
of http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/ReleaseNotes to change your
xorg.conf accordingly. Let me know if you need more help.
