2009-02-16 03:51:35 epv description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel jaunty x86_64, xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu2 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) (pci id 8086:2a02) - lenovo x61 tablet. The X server crashes with: Feb 14 18:26:26 hostname kernel: [ 252.148399] [drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while VT-switched. whenever a console switch happens (either by ctrl-alt-Fn or by chvt command.) It does not crash on console switch if UXA is not enabled via Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" in Device section of xorg.conf. (however without UXA, graphics performance is very bad) In particular this causes suspend/resume to fail because the power manager tries to chvt to a text console on suspend. syslog excerpt: Feb 15 13:34:15 hostname kernel: [20931.947721] [drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while VT-switched.

It does not crash on console switch if UXA is not enabled via Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" in Device section of xorg.conf. (however without UXA, graphics performance is very bad) Update: it also only crashes if dri(?) is in use: if I shut off compiz (which is used by default) with "metacity --replace", the X server then survives console switches.

2009-02-17 17:53:35 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-intel: statusexplanation Confirmed. Most people will experience this as being presented with the GDM login screen upon resume. Marking as wishlist since we've decided not to ship UXA for Jaunty due to stability concerns such as this bug. I would also encourage you to forward this bug upstream to bugzilla.freedesktop.org so it gets investigated.

2009-02-17 18:09:40 Jeffrey Baker xserver-xorg-video-intel: statusexplanation Marking as wishlist since we've decided not to ship UXA for Jaunty due to stability concerns such as this bug. I would also encourage you to forward this bug upstream to bugzilla.freedesktop.org so it gets investigated. OK, forwarded upstream. However I would note that if UXA is wishlist, then performance regression on 965-class hardware should be a blocker for Jaunty. The graphics on Jaunty are completely useless without UXA.
