I've been seeing ring lockups occasionally with the i810-1.7.2 driver, patched to fix #8594 (gentoo's xf86-video-i810-r1) I've never been there when it happens - its always seems to happen after xscreensaver has shut the monitor off. I'll come back into the room and X will have crashed with: Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is -805090207, start is -805092208 pgetbl_ctl: 0x3ff80001 pgetbl_err: 0x0 ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0 LP ring tail: 68 head: 0 len: 1f001 start 0 eir: 0 esr: 1 emr: ffdf instdone: 0 instpm: 0 memmode: 0 instps: 0 hwstam: dffe ier: 82 imr: 0 iir: 20 space: 130960 wanted 131064 (II) I810(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) I810(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf8b62000 at 0xb7afa000 Fatal server error: lockup Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is -805088191, start is -805090192 pgetbl_ctl: 0x3ff80001 pgetbl_err: 0x0 ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0 LP ring tail: 70 head: 0 len: 1f001 start 0 eir: 0 esr: 1 emr: ffdf instdone: 0 instpm: 0 memmode: 0 instps: 0 hwstam: dffe ier: 82 imr: 0 iir: 20 space: 130952 wanted 131064 FatalError re-entered, aborting lockup It seems to be associated with gl screensavers, but I can't guarantee that that is a necessary ingredient. It seems to happen after 3 or 4 days of uptime.
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: X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux seraph 2.6.19.2 #2 SMP Tue Jan 16 13:12:24 EST 2007 i686 Build Date: 14 January 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Created attachment 8414 [details] 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.
