Bug#525231: Same problem here - 30 August 2009
I still have the same problem here.
I'm running debian sid, with packages from experimental.
X freezes periodically, but it is usually possible to ssh into the box.
Killing or stopping gdm and X does turn the screen black, but
restarting gdm does not lead to anything. Restarting gdm (or kdm) a
second time hangs the system completely.
Also, I usually have to issue shutdown or reboot twice for it to take
effect.
Graphics card:
--------------
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Dell Device 0126
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
Memory at ff680000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 1
uname -r
2.6.30-1-686
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.1-1 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver
libgl1-mesa-dri 7.5-3 A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules
libgl1-mesa-glx 7.5-3 A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime
libglu1-mesa 7.5-3 The OpenGL utility library (GLU)
The problem might have started roughly early August 2009, when I
upgraded the system (dist-upgrade). However, I was not around most of
July, so did not do any dist-upgrade then.
Any help is appreciated.
