Installed the Glasenhart 855-drm patch (stable) and then the intel driver. Improved overall stability and performance, but Google Earth still brought system down, as did OpenGL screensavers with frequency. Then added Brian Roger's Mesa fix, after which Google Earth functioned perfectly, although there seem to still be intermittent freezes on some screensavers (of which I am only aware of due to being unable to wake up the screen after screen OFF (assuming system has frozen. REISUB is ineffective so it is a fairly deep fault rather than with X). Which log files should I access at the next freeze to make a more useful report? (specifically, which ones, and where are they located.
Would also installing the Rogers kernel build be advisable? O r should I leave things as is for now?
