Am I the only one experiencing this? |

I upgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.8.0. After this and other upgrades I |
| 4 |
noticed my X/GNOME/compiz session kept locking up. It took me a while |
| 5 |
to deduce it down to the intel driver. |

Basically what happens this.. shortly after going into X and launching |
| 8 |
compiz the screen would just lock up. Most of the time the pointer |
| 9 |
still moves and I can still hear audio if it's playing, but the display |
| 10 |
does not update. I can ssh into the machine. If i then kill the |
| 11 |
running compiz I see no difference. Compiz appears to die or at least |
| 12 |
be in zombie state but no screen updates. Then if I kill the X server |
| 13 |
the entire box locks up (ssh and all) and I have to hard reboot. |

I've tried re-merging all my x11-drivers/ and also mesa and xorg-server, |
| 16 |
but nothing seems to help. I've tried this on kernel 2.6.30 as well as |
| 17 |
2.6.31-rc4. I haven't noticed any difference. |

I downgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.7.1 and so far everything is fine. |

Anyone else experienced this? |
