Hello. I'm running Centos 4.3 with KDE from CentOS. There're some "unsupported" packages, like kernel 2.6.9-34.108.plus.c4smp, Picasa and Google Earth.<br><br>Picasa and Google Earth had never showed critical problems (before), although they're beta versions.
<br><br>Today, I started Picasa and Google Earth at the same time, and the X became a black screen, like it was killed and was just trying to start again, but couldn't. The xdm mouse cursor showed up, but suddenly disappeared again, and this was looping forever.
<br><br>Then I went into another computer, 'ssh'ed into that one, and typed 'dmesg'. The last important lines are these:<br>application Picasa2 uses obsolete OSS audio interface<br>[drm:i915_wait_irq] *ERROR* i915_wait_irq: EBUSY -- rec: 3123 emitted: 3125
<br>mtrr: base(0x80020000) is not aligned on a size(0x300000) boundary<br>(this last line kept repeating many times)<br clear="all"><br>'top' showed almost 100% for process X, that disappeared and appeared again with a different PID. It seems that X got killed for some reason, and xdm was trying to start up again, but got killed every time with that mtrr error.
<br><br>My video is Intel 945 onboard, but I guess it uses Intel 915 driver, so that i915 makes sense. I think this problem has to do with the video card/driver.<br><br>Could someone explain to me what may have happened ?
