Bug#465154: xserver-xorg-video-intel: same problem here with 82Q963/Q965; is fixed by upstream intel_drv.so
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.0.90-3
Followup-For: Bug #465154
I have had the same problem, starting with 2:2.2.0.90-1: Switching to a
VT gave me a completely black screen for a moment, then the backlight
was turned on but nothing was displayed. If the intel driver was used
with XAA then the system at least remained responsive and I could switch
back to the X session with ALT-F7 or log in blindly and run commands on
the VT. With EXA used, on the other hand, I found that my computer hung
completely at this point and could only be rebooted by using ALT-SysRq
s-u-b.
I now finally had the time to pull the xf86-video-intel source from the
upstream git repository and compile the newest driver myself. I am happy
to report that this problem was fixed as soon as I replaced intel_drv.so
with the git version (last commit Fri Feb 22 11:41:25 2008 -0800) and
rebooted.
Now things seem to be fine with both XAA and EXA. (I still use XAA
because it results in smoother text scrolling in X terminal windows.)
