Description sroy 2006-07-19 09:45:49 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution: Debian Release: 3.1
Hardware Environment: Pentium-IV with Intel 865G Integrated graphics
Software Environment: i686 linux, XFree86--Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Problem Description: While running stellarium 0.8.0-2 compiled from
Debian/Testing source in the 1280x1024 resolution, the system almost entirely
locks up after a while of using it. The mouse Cursor vanishes. Standard
keystrokes like 'ctrl-alt-backspace' or 'ctrl-alt-F1' to reach Console
fails. However 'SYSrq' keys works, and the 'Powerbutton' can also signal 
'init' to make a clean shutdown.

he reason of the problem appears to be what I find in the kernel log.

I have seen the same problem happening with kernel-2.6.16.1 which I compiled
after downloading from 'kernel.org'.

Steps to reproduce: Run stellarium in 1280x1024 mode, move the cursor for a few
minutes and try to switch on the 'azimuth grid' or so on by using the mouse, the
machine appear to hang and would not respond with standard keystrokes (sysrq works).
