Bug 8972

I do have the same problem when playing videos (only sometimes, I don't know 
how to reproduce). First time, the screen just locked up. The second time, x 
restarted again and again (like described in #8988).

My config:
xorg-x11 7.1
xorg-server 1.1.1-r1
xf86-video-i810 1.6.5
(Gentoo stable)

You should grab the test driver from http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html
and see if that helps. If not, then the log file will have much more information
for debugging that you should post here.

I get a very similar error everytime I try to startup secondlife.  It's able to
display the main login screen and almost makes it all the way in, but then dies
after about 15 seconds with the following xorg error:

Xorg log dump

Using the latest driver from here:  http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html
 this is the xorg.0.log file from the crash

Unfortunately, that's not the latest driver.

You'll need to checkout the git repository for the intel driver, the Xorg 7.2
release candidate and also for Mesa, and build all of them and install it.

Then try to reproduce. It's a lot of work, but much has changed since the
drivers you've currently got installed.

Closing as invalid as many things have changed. Please upgrade and reopen if there's still troubles.
