 Geir, I don't know enough command line linux to download the .deb files in your note. I tried using apt-get and sources.list but didn't get anywhere.

Thanks for looking at this bug.
Jerry

Subject: [Bug 420594] Re: [i845] xorg hang video driver 2.8.1-1ubuntu1

I have compiled three test kernels for finding the triggering commit
that introduced these freezes on 845G into ubuntu. They can be
downloaded from http://www.kvante.info/845Gfreeze/ . There is some more
detailed information in the comments to bug 456902. If this bug is the
same as bug 456902, the kernels with freezetest1 and freezetest8 should
not cause the freeze, while the one with freezetest9 should cause a
freeze. If this is not the case for you, we know that your bug is
different from bug 456902 and we will have to do some additional tests.

I originally compiled the kernels on Jaunty, but tests by others seems
to indicate that the tests can also be done in Karmic or Lucid. A
problem with Karmic and Lucid is that the default kernel will cause a
freeze while it doesn't in Jaunty.
