[i945GME] Unity session freezing.

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

 [388.839967] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id

Xorg.log:(EE) intel(0): Couldn't create pixmap for fbcon

When I have several windows open and click through each, move them around etc, the windows tend to lock up. I can not move, type, minimize etc any windows. I have to then alt-tab to get it to go to the window I want and from there I can do work as normal. After a while it lock up again. If I have gnome-terminal running makes it worse. With gnome-terminal it actually locks everything up completely. The alt-tab trick does not work. I have usually gotten my display back by going to vt1 and kill -HUP mutter which basically kills X and reloads it I assume.

[388.839967] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id and the backtrace in the xorglogold.txt here are red herrings and are caused by starting/stopping the server, the real issue seems to be that UNE is hanging and not updating the screen for some reason in his case.

[Tworkemon (tworkemon)]

Also of note. I have not been able to reproduce it on the netbook itself. This seems to happen only when an external monitor,keyboard,mouse is connected to the netbook.

[Tworkemon (tworkemon)]

Attached is a desktop video capture of what happens.

[Tworkemon (tworkemon)]

Tried to edit my previous comment but couldn't . The video shows what happens right before it all goes downhill.

[Tworkemon (tworkemon)]

This actually just happened on the netbook itself without external monitor,keyboard,mouse connected.

[Tworkemon (tworkemon)]

This issue has been resolved. I no longer experience the problem.
