GPU LOCKUP after starting EOG on q35 chipset (gma 3100) in Unity3D

[CassieMoondust]

Immediatly while viewing a jpeg picture with eog the xserver locks up. I can move the mouse, but the system does not work, no reaction on mouseclicks or keyboard inputs. The only thing i can do is the magic req (REISUB) to restart the pc!

Sometimes i have randomly artefacts on the screen, espacialy in the top panel. Clock is sometime not readable or the buttons on the left side (close, mini-/maximize) are fully distorted, but only till i move the mouse over it or click on the panel.

In Unitiy 3D in oneiric ocelot 11.10 right after starting of the dokument viewer eog the gpu locks up and only mousemovement is possible, but no reaction on keyboardentries or mouseclicks. MagicKey CTRL+ALT+PRINT+K works.

I have a Intel DQ35MP mainboard with a Q35 (GMA3100) Chipset.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

thank you for your bug report, a gpu lock is an xorg or driver issue not an unity one though

I can confirm that the gpu lockup only occures on my intel machine. I've test it on nvidia and ati and there are no problems so far.
It must be an issue in the intel-driver like Sebastien wrote.
