[Xnv-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #1135] intel driver stops updating the screen sometimes

[illumos project]

Issue #1135 has been updated by Nikola M..


I have trouble with screen freezing since OpenSolaris snv_132 onwards (latest was snv_131 to work without freezing and I still have that BE at my machine).
Bug is present in everything past that release, including Solaris11Express (I also have its'BE) and latest /dev-il OI_151b with Illumos.
Latest info from Oracle bug database I got before closing was that the bug was marked as to be fixed in the next X server release/update. (I think bugs 6936915 and 6933951: X server freezing on Intel Graphics Nbook i915)

My Hardware, par example, is Notebook Dell Latitude D620 with Intel Graphics (945G with  i915 driver).
Newest behavior is what I witnessed today, to see cursor moving with picture freeze.

Since upgrading from 148a to our current 151 prerelease, I've had my X desktop appear to freeze once every few days, although the hardware cursor would continue to update on top of it. I had to restart the X server each time this happens. I'm using the intel driver on a "IGDNG_M": @pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x02 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x0046
 Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller@ embedded in a U3400 CULV processor.

Nothing is written to the X server log at the time.
