    intel 855GM + i915 driver

    hi,

    I have an Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device in my laptop. On startup the i915 driver gets loaded. This seems to be a bad combination, X freezes completely after a few minutes of use (the computer can be reached via the network). Do more people notice this?

    I now load i830 from /etc/modules and haven't had any more freezes. Is this solution adequate or is there a better one?

    As a test, I installed kernel 2.6.29.1, but it seems to have the same problem.

    With kind regards, Joost de Greef.
