syslog report of the bug

Hardware: Acer TravelMate 6291 with Intel 945GM graphics
OS: Linux (self-built, LFS/BLFS), 
  using Xorg 7.2 and driver xf86-video-intel-2.1.1

The system locks up completely when I start running e.g., mplayer to play videos (audio is ok), glxgears, or when a screensaver activates in Xscreensaver. (If I set Xscreensaver to give a blank screen rather than running a screensaver, then it's ok, there's no crash.) Everything freezes. The display is frozen and there's no response to the keyboard and touchpad.

I've tried out the patch (applied to 2.6.38) that was attached to the bug 23172 report, but the system still crashes when I run glxgears, play videos, etc. I can only restart after disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
The sys.log for the entire session only shows gibberish like this:

The patch fixed the bug you first reported, after that we need new info. But seriously consider upgrading the userspace components of the driver as well.
Comment 6 nettxzl 2011-03-21 12:10:09 UTC
Yes, I know I should send more new info. I would if I knew how to get it. And yes, you're right, I need to upgrade the userspace components of the driver as well. But dependencies need to be upgraded as well. Basically, everything needs to be upgraded and I have to rebuild the whole system from scratch which I'm in the middle of doing now but it will take a while. So I guess I'll live with 2.6.34 until I have a new sytem.

Ok sounds like this is either fixed or you're getting new hardware, so I'll close. :)
