As per KM's issue, mine is in regards to TMDS-1. I have an ASUS eee-box with and Intel 945GME. This is driving me nuts because it actually does cause data loss of whatever whatever was being worked on.

As per KM, it is on pipe A and it is the exact issue on a 386 machine.

[I'm on a 945GM (Mac Mini). Worked fine under 8.04, but after upgrade to 8.10 I have a similar problem.

After the system boots the display is fine. I login and then run a video app (mythfrontend) mostly successfully, though there is some occasional tearing that I didn't have under Hardy. After a few minutes the display goes black. Killing and restarting gdm and the Xserver gets me nothing but black screen. The xorg log shows continually repeating

(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe A!

in my case Output TMDS-1 is connected to pipe A.

It takes a reboot to get the display back.]
