Description Marco Napetti 2011-12-17 17:55:14 UTC

I open this bug after a short thread on the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6903292.html#6903292

The summary of the problem is:
i915 without KMS works fine, but I have no multiple monitor support,
Enabling KMS results on an xorg freeze after kde loading
The only solution is to disable desktop effects.

I don't know what info to give you, except for the infos already wrote on the forum.

Reproducible: Always

Disabling desktop effects isn't really a solution, some actions still randomly cause xorg to freeze.
For now it seems only minimizing/maximizing the skype window...

I'll try this solution: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel#X_freeze.2Fcrash_with_intel_driver

Comment 2 Marco Napetti 2011-12-19 08:47:52 UTC

Even worse, Xorg freezed switching focus between windows...

Comment 3 Marco Napetti 2011-12-19 13:09:07 UTC

I'm trying the NoAccel option, but I can't get any result, Xorg.0.log reports:
[    25.112] (WW) intel(0): Option "NoAccel" is not used

I guess we need some help from the X maintainers here...
