The following reply was made to PR ports/119091; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Martin Birgmeier <martin@email.aon.at> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/119091: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel 2.1.1 panics system Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2008 15:05:40 +0100 (CET) The system has not crashed again since I have switched back to the i810 driver, with the sole exception mentioned above. Thinking of it, this single crash might be due to the fact that at that time, I stopped X11, modified xorg.conf to load the i810 instead of the intel driver, and restarted X11 again, all without rebooting the system. Since the system had not been rebooted, dirt (incorrent memory mappings, for example) might have been left over from the previous running of the intel driver. This reminds of yet another thing: A few months ago, while I was waiting for the intel driver to mature, I would regularly switch to it (again by the stop X11 -> edit xorg.conf -> restart X11 sequence), check that it did not work (mostly because of huge fonts), and try to switch back to the i810 driver. When restarting X11 again with the i810 driver the system would invariably freeze/panic/whatever.
