My X server freezes after a few minutes (usually between 1-20 minutes) of running applications with some level of graphics, i.e. epiphany, evince, xfig, thunderbird. As of yet, I have not managed to see a correlation between any particular actions and the freeze. As long as I run text-based applications like xterm and emacs, the X server does never freeze. Mouse pointer still moves but clicks are unresponsive, as is the keyboard (ctrl-alt-f1). Mplayer plays on and I can still ssh into the machine. However, killing -9 the X server and/or restarting gdm does not remove the frozen image from the screen. A reboot is all I can do. Driver version is x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.9.0, although the problem appeared with 2.8.2, too. Kernel version is 2.6.31-gentoo-r1, but the problem appeared with previous versions, too. I am attaching Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf, as well as results of intel_gpu_dump before and after a freeze. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 206086 [details] Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 206087 [details] xorg.conf
Created attachment 206089 [details] intel_gpu_dump before a freeze
Created attachment 206090 [details] intel_gpu_dump after a freeze
Created attachment 206091 [details] dmesg output (does not change with crash)
Uh oh, you have an 865... You should probably upgrade your kernel to the very latest git-sources kernel in ~arch. If that still doesn't fix it, please file a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla [1] and paste the url here so I can track the issue. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
no more freezes after upgrade to 2.6.32-rc1-git2. Many thanks.
Reopening
And closing with the proper resolution. Thanks for the follow up, we greatly appreciate it.
