Hangcheck timer elapsed ... GPU hung

My Debian squeeze is getting hung unpredictably.

Error:

Code:

[drm i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *Error* Hangcheck timer elapsed ... GPU hung

render error detected, ECR: 0x00000000

I was going to try this solution but i dont find any xorg.conf in my /etc/X11/.

You can try that - simply create the xorg.conf with those contents, but leave out some of the extra options, i.e.

Code:

Section "Device"

Identifier "Card0"

Driver "intel"

Option "Shadow" "true"

EndSection

I think enabling the shadowfb was a workaround of some kind - not sure if it's still needed now possibly still is in squeeze.

Original thread: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.p...=63662#p375172

But first post the output of

Code:

lspci

uname -r

grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I assume that you're running squeeze?

I am confused the link you wrote, asks to put shadow to false, but you want me to put it as true?

Currently, i hve create a xorg.conf as

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Shadow" "false"
Option "DRI" "false"
BoardName "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Here is output yu asked: https://gist.github.com/6bdbb6d6f7873d3c4f29

You didn't read the next page of the thread. You need to enable it to get any kind of stability with xf86-video-intel and KMS on the 8xx chips. Clear that lot out of your xorg.conf and use the device section in my previous post instead of the one in the link.

I have been trying all sorts of things mentioned on the thread link you gave, and also the setting that you wrote.
But, nothing seems to resolve the GPU hung bug. :(

Ok add the backports repo

http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/

Install the latest kernel e.g. linux-image-2.6.39-bpo.2-amd64 or linux-image-2.6.39-bpo.2-686-pae (note architecture)

Reboot into the kernel - see if the problem persists.

I check my uname -a, it said my kernel was 686, so installed using that name

# apt-get -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-2.6-686
