[i855gm] Using KMS with intel, x server restarts when I load/play videos

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hello,

I know that i8xx Intel on Lucid is a mess, but I wanted to make sure that this was in the system.

In order to get the Live CD to boot, I had to use Workaround A from here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes

Now, when I try to watch a video in Totem, load a video into PiTiVi or into dvdrip, xorg crashes and keeps restarting.

Hopefully my logs are helpful. The xorg log gives:
Fatal server error:
Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error

I tried to find this bug somewhere in the system already, but there are so many xorg-intel bugs that I couldn't tell the dupes. I sent the gdm log, so please make sure that my login password isn't in there before making it public.

Please let me know what I can do to help.
