Comment 276 for bug 541492

Agreed, random lockup seems to have stopped on this hardware.
I'm using the 3.0 kernels on lucid now btw.

Subject: [Bug 541492] Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup

I had this issue temporarily worked around by installing an ATI video
card that used a different driver. However, about a week ago, I took the
video card out to see if the lockup issue had been resolved.

So far, things have been running very smoothly on the same hardware and
configuration that was having problems before (the eMachines T8284 with
device "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)").
Still running lucid, current kernel version is 2.6.32-41, and the i915
module is loaded. None of the optional PPAs listed in the bug
description are enabled.

There doesn't seem to be much activity related to this bug, so maybe a
fix for another bug took care of it? Other users subscribed to this bug
may wish to retest and report results.
