Comment 194 for bug 541492

Hello,

Yesterday I installed the "raof/aubergine PPA" package per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes: I have initial symptom back again: (X hangs with white vertical stripes blinking on half upper screen). Crash occurred only about an hour after I applied the PPA.

Before this, having applied workarounds A and E, my system was much more stable, having the system working correctly for several days (more than one week last time).

I can now see those lines repeating in the yesterday kern.log, which match the crash:

does this help ?

"sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade": I did not really understand when they said "DO NOT force that upgrade; it will break things.". what did they mean ? I had only the question "do you want to continue", so I answered "Yes" because I did not feel I was about to force anything.

Then only the package libldap has been updated.
The following packages have been kept: "libdrm-dev libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau1 libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 xserver-xorg-video-intel"

My computer is an IBM Netvista S42, type (or model) is 8319-LGV.
