i845 with KMS off but with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu3 ran for maybe 20 minutes then X crashed and flashing black screen.

Ubuntu was still up so ssh in while it was constantly flashing black screen fence stripes etc. and got dump of
i915_error_state
Xorg.0.log
dmesg
which are attached.

So with KMS on and intel driver on i845 X fails Beta 2 gets hard crash.

With KMS off and intel driver Beta 2 on i845 X fails but still able to ssh in.

I think I'll switch back to "vesa" since it is faster than "intel" and doesn't crash all day. Let me know if I can test anything else out, looks like 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu3 crashes frequently in case any other info would be useful.

Thanks, Jerry
