2010-10-18 13:47:12 Robert Hooker description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-intel does not have support for Sandybridge Xv video acceleration, but it advertises support and attempting to use it is causing a system hang. Given that these devices will be released before 11.04 is released, I believe it would be in our best interest to disable Xv for Maverick for a better user experience. The change only affects these specific devices (covered by the IS_GEN6 macro) so the regression potential is extremely low. Upstream addressed this issue in this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=8784c4f5a1524fb979b00c7ce7981cbc1dcf0ec0 author Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> 2010-10-01 20:40:36 (GMT) committer Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> 2010-10-01 20:45:15 (GMT) commit 8784c4f5a1524fb979b00c7ce7981cbc1dcf0ec0 tree d73f10e7631195c2ecb70d87aa7f3ba00da93e09 parent 345c963e443ec325f1ff530512a356ddb318ff70 video: Disable TextureAdaptor for Sandybridge The acceleration code does not yet exist, so we try to use gen4 shaders which hangs the chip and makes everybody upset.

This confuses gstreamer which does auto detection and every app that plays back video with it will hang the system unless Xv is forcibly disabled. RESOLUTION: Disable Xv only on this generation of devices by adding an XVideo option to the intel driver that only disables it on generation 6 devices. The option was universally enabled previously. TEST CASE: 1) Boot ubuntu maverick on a Sandy Bridge machine 2) Launch gstreamer-properties 3) Go to the video tab, under default output press "Test" 4) System hangs without this fix. Switching the output to "X Window System (No Xv)" works correctly. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Extremely low, this only changes the behavior for devices that match the IS_GEN6 macro which only contains Sandy Bridge devices.
