Comment 29 for bug 212799

I had the opportunity to test an Intel G965. I was not able to crash the system (xserver). The reason is that it is based on PCI Express.

Difference between the two systems that I have tested.

Dell Laptop Inspiron6400L:
product: Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub
configuration: driver=agpgart-intel module=intel_agp

Desktop PC:
product: 82P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port
configuration: driver=pcieport-driver

If you take a look at the upstream commit (see bug description)
you also can see this headline "Always bind memory after agp aperture allocation"

In conclusion, we can see that all newer systems that have PCI Express shouldn't be affected by this bug.

I have installed my patched package on the G965 System to see if it would have some negative affects. As expected I hadn't any problems.

I know everybody is busy with Intrepid but I think such a dangerous bug should really be fixed for all the users that have an system with Intel agp.

Can we change the Importance to HIGH please and eliminate this problem.

Achim
