Please attach the full Xorg log.
You need upstream kernel 2.6.28-rc4 which contains a critical fix for G45.
Created attachment 20178 [details] Full Xorg log as requested
I won't be able to try 2.6.28 until next week. Maybe it will be released by then.
ping for response...Harris.
Still waiting for 2.6.28 release. Do you know if this fix was backported to 2.6.27-7?
(In reply to comment #6) > Still waiting for 2.6.28 release. Do you know if this fix was backported to > 2.6.27-7? Harris, please try "emerge -1 sys-kernel/git-sources" to get the latest release candidate. It'd be great if we could make sure this bug is fixed *before* 2.6.28. Thanks
xf86-video-intel-2.5.1 is running with linux-2.6.28-rc5-git4. Right now I can only see the machine remotely but the Xorg.0.log looks right so the bug is most likely fixed. I will be able to verify visually later today when I can access the machine physically.
I can now verify that xf86-video-intel-2.5.1 is running with linux-2.6.28-rc5-git4 with no issues.
Good to know. So closing.
