A line in the sand for graphics driversA line in the sand for graphics driversPosted Jul 8, 2010 16:26 UTC (Thu) by Thalience (subscriber, #4217)In reply to: A line in the sand for graphics drivers by nhippi Parent article: A line in the sand for graphics drivers
FWIW, the Intel 8xx chips have hardware issues (related to broken cache-coherency between GPU and CPU [0]). Older versions of the driver never tried to do any memory management, so were not impacted by the hardware problems.
I have an 855-based laptop as well, and the lockups are very frustrating. But it isn't a matter of "driver bugs" so much as "failure to find a good workaround for hardware bugs".
