what's the reproducible step? Could you attach dmesg as well?

Using intel driver with uxa is enough to reproduce the bug.

I will attach the dmesg output as well.

dmesg

This is the dmesg I found in /var/log I could not run the dmesg command after the problem because I get a blank screen, the monitor goes in stand by mode and I have to reset from hardware to reboot.

> Using intel driver with uxa is enough to reproduce the bug.

Do you mean this happens immediately after X started, not requiring any other operations?

Adjusting severity: crashes & hangs should be marked critical.

Tommaso, that dmesg doesn't have correct info for your card.  You should be able to run dmesg after sshing into your machine.  If you can't ssh into it, you could try switching to vt2, running "sleep 15 ; dmesg > dmesg.txt" or something, and switching back to vt1 to get it.

Fwiw, the error being returned seems to be an "out of memory" error, but that's sort of strange to happen at boot.

I have same issue, my dmesg says:

lspci -v output

Just a "me too" with a couple of additional observations
(see my log files and "lspci -v" output attached above):

- All of us reporting this bug seem to share the ASRock Incorporation Device 2e20, 2e22 (apparently the ASRock G43Twins-FullHD board). I've searched long and hard for any reports of the same crash on other hardware, but couldn't find any.

- The crash has been absolutely 100% consistent on UXA since driver 2.6 (Ubuntu Jaunty, and I've been applying every driver and kernel update from xorg-edgers since).

- The system worked fine under Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10, driver 2.4+kernel 2.6.27) or with 2.6 or 2.7 driver with 2.6.27 kernel (no GEM).

- If this helps, on any kernel >=2.6.28 I tried, driver 2.6 or 2.7 using EXA causes a "failed to initialize kernel memory manager" (see the report in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/380986, with the same hardware), and, again, this is 100% consistent.

All in all, looks like some sort of memory allocation/management issue with this particular chipset.
Will be glad to provide any further information / try any suggestions.

Same crash by me too immediately after X started.
I have an ASROCK G41M-LE motherboard with integrated Intel G41 X4500 (8086:2e32 windows7 based OS shows 8086:2e33) gma.

I think, this is not an UXA bug. The problem is not depend from AccelMethod(EXA,UXA).

I posted a new report with latest intel and drm driver(git). The error has not changed, G41 X4500 GMA is still useless on linux.

Xorg with Option "ModeDebug" "yes".

(My) Problem solved!

I set the Shared Memory size to 128MB in BIOS, and intel driver works!(compiz too)

When the Shared Memory set to 256MB intel driver crash at startup.
