Created attachment 25114 [details] Xorg log When I change from X11 to a linux console, my system freezes. The only way out is to turn off and reboot the system. This happens either on pressing Ctrl-Alt-Fx or on issuing a halt or reboot command from a x11 terminal. When suspending the system via acpid script, the system locks up as well. The Xorg.0.log is attached. System: Thinkpad R50e 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) Linux kernel 2.6.29.1 xorg-server 1.6.0 xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.903 mesa-lib 7.4

Does this still happen with 2.6.30-rc4? Some important 8xx related fixes went in after 2.6.29 came out...
I installed 2.6.30-rc4 and I tried xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.903 and 2.7.0 The system still locks up completely when trying to change to a console. The current root window stays visible, the mouse pointer disappears. I can't login from remote via ssh.
Adjusting severity: crashes & hangs should be marked critical.
I tried the new 2.7.1 version of the xf86-video-intel driver. On Kernel 2.6.29.2 and 2.6.30-rc4. My system locks up when I change to the console. btw: If I run Xorg on 2.6.29.2, the systray icons are not painted properly. This is just a minor issue (and a different bug).
Looks like you don't have the framebuffer console driver loaded or builtin. Double check CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y in your kernel config, or that you have fbcon loaded before you load i915 with modeset=1 (also make sure you don't have CONFIG_FB_INTEL enabled at all). If you've done all that (and attached your .config here) and things are still broken, please re-open.
