Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.9.1-2
Severity: Important
Justification: Frequent crashes on specific hardware
Heyho!
Opening a new bug since errors are slightly different from what I've seen
reported with earlier kernel/X.
Symptom:
X suddenly goes black during some (unspecified) actions (opening menus,
resizing windows, ...); this time instead of a mouse counter there is a text
cursor (non-blinking underline) top left of the screen.
Changing to text console is not possible. ssh is fine, restarting X is not possible.

kernel is 2.6.33-1~experimental.2
X is 2:1.7.5-1 (xserver-xorg-core); rest of the system is a fairly up to
date squeeze.
Now trying with mem=400M (on a 512M box) - this didn't get us anywhere.
Compositing was disabled. Enabling compositing gets us this crash
immediately instead only sporadically.
cheers
