Bug#397934: freezing, does turning off acpi help?
Package: xorg
Followup-For: Bug #397934
I noticed from your log output
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=342 noacpi splash
the 'noacpi' option is given but that acpi is still activated according
to your log output.
...
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 10 (level,
low) -> IRQ 10
...
What is the proper way to deactivate acpi?
I have almost the same G400 with SGRAM
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400/G450
(rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

but have no acpi running, deactivated it in bios. But I remember when I
was testing acpi on my motherboard the commandline I used, was I think
'acpi=off' to turn it off completely and 'pci=noacpi' to turn it off for
just pci. I don't have acpi activated and haven't experienced freezes
like this. Could this be caused by an acpi bug since it seems to be
triggered by inactivity?
