[intrepid] video freezes on Intel card with 2.6.27-5 kernel

[Ivan Stetsenko]

Video playback stops after a few seconds on the 2.6.27-5 kernel. Applications, which have changing picture in the window (observed on Need For Speed 2 game under Wine) have this problem as well. The application itself is not frozen, video is playing at the background as well as sound. Video moves to the current position when the window is moved. Everything works fine on 2.6.27-4 kernel, so it seems to be a driver bug or something like that. The problem appears both with and without Compiz.

Also, it seems to affect only X11 video output

Does the video freeze on all videoplayers etc. vlc, mplayer & totem?

Could you post in separate attachments:

* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
