Comment 128 for bug 345119

I'm going through some of the bugs in xserver-xorg-video-intel that are marked as affecting many people (this one affects 24 people). From the comments it seems that many of the people who think they are affected by this bug actually have a different problem which has the same symptoms (this is explained with better words than mine in comment #22 in the upstream report).

Specifically, the comments mention 945G, 845G and 855GM chipsets, while this bug report (by zwaldowski) is from the 965GM chipset. As far as I can see, the 965GM freezes are now fixed, and I will therefore close this bug report.

We do still have problems on 945G, 845G and 855GM. I don't think it is realistic to get those fixed in Karmic, but I do hope we can get them fixed in time for Lucid. For this we can use some help in testing. Currently, it is the 945 chipset bugs that we know least about. On 845G and 855GM we have had people doing some good testing and we are closer to finding the root of the problems.

For those of you on 945G/945GM/945GME, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Lucidi945Freezes. There are links to bugs on these chipsets on that page.
