2009-01-23 21:16:24 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel I am using a Dell Latitude D430 with an Intel GM945. When I use my external 19" TFT (through DVI, 1280x1024), I occasionally get a black screen. This is not triggered by anything obvious, it just happens spontaneously. It is impossible to recover from this with restarting X, only a reboot cures it. Further investigation shows that this is caused by a long series of (EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe A! errors (some 10.000 lines in the log). I get short underruns pretty often, which results in the screen flickering for a split second, but when the long series happens, the screen stays black forever. A comparison of the intel_reg_dump output (-: works, +: black screen) confirms this as well: -(II): PIPEASTAT: 0x00000203 (status: VSYNC_INT_STATUS VBLANK_INT_STATUS OREG_UPDATE_STATUS) +(II): PIPEASTAT: 0x80000000 (status: FIFO_UNDERRUN) I have not observed this behaviour when I use the laptop undocked, with the internal screen (1280x800). This is current Jaunty with -intel 2:2.5.1-1ubuntu7. It also happened in Intrepid, but back then I didn't know about intel_reg_dumper.

2009-02-25 07:29:03 Martin Pitt xserver-xorg-video-intel: statusexplanation I'll apply the upstream patch for the time being. It has been successfully tested by several people on both intrepid and jaunty.

It has been successfully tested by several people on both intrepid and jaunty. Indeed, starting from yesterday or so I now immediately get screen flicker, worse than before. Odd, I was running Jaunty with this patch for over a week without a single glitch; apparently something else changed in the system now :(
