Bug#458858: old xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.1.1-4 doesn't help either
So I installed the older driver:
$ dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
|
Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
hi xserver-xorg-v 2:2.1.1-4 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx
display d
But it also hangs, as it used to hang, when this driver was the newest
one in sid: black screen, with the mouse pointer on and off
periodically. This used to do, then I upgraded to newer intel,
with the problems reported in this thread.
Note: I am not sitting at this computer physically - I am only
administering it over ssh and forwarding all complains here. :)
I switched to vesa now.
Also, most of the day, there were someone else running windows,
without problems. So I don't think it's a hardware problem. Unless
windows messup something, but I don't think so.
It can also be a problem in the kernel 2.6.21. I noticed today (the
previous weeks were fine):

That could be related to the old problem with the jmicron driver, that
was famous for not working with 2.6.18 kernels on intel core duo. So
I'll try to upgrade to 2.6.23.
This computer is giving me a headache... I welcome any tips. :)
