Hello all:
I'm very sorry for leaving so unattended this bug(it's not the only one). I
suppose I should get the use to subscribe my bugs. Maybe I should suggest bug
reporters are automatically subscribed to them, but this is another topic.
As what regards the bugs I totally agree:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272060;msg=22
Almost two years ago my knowledge about this topics was even less than now.
Indeed I think this has been a combination of i810 xorg driver xv extension
bug+kernel i915 bug/misoperation.
The xv bug appear yet after a S3(Suspend to Ram) and wake up. In this
situation there was a bug in the xv (xorg upstream bug #5774).
Now I use sid, the xorg problem is gone, I can't tell about sarge. I would
consider #306277, #310629 and #272060 the same, since they all affect video
playing, possibly using xv and i830 lockup.
I lately found that even when I reproduced the Xorg lock, even stopping X and
restarting didn't work _unless_ I unload the i915 module. Then I could start
X again and everything would work as usual.
This is why I'm not sure still if a possible bug in this kernel module still
could exist/remain.
IMHO I would close these bugs. I wouldn't like to forget thanking you for
doing the great yet hard work to review old bugs.
