Sure that patch > might not it but in 2.6.26 the problem isn't there :) Ok I re-tested with 2.6.26 and 2.6.34.1 So I will describe what happens below: 2.6.26 - with xorg running "Given I have a test file called a.out And I can see Xorg And I am using 2.6.26 And I have swap on When I run it I run a.out Then I see the system freeze up slightly And the hard drive churns( and the cpu is doing something as the large fan kicks) And after a while the system unfreezes" 2.6.26 - from single mode - before xorg starts and i915 is *not* loaded. "Given I have a test file called a.out And I cannot see Xorg And I am using 2.6.26 And I have swap on When I run it I run a.out Then I see the system freeze up And the system fan doesn't spin any faster And the system just sits idle" 2.6.34.1 With and without xorg - WITH spam on the same behaviour as in the 2.6.26 kernel appears (when xorg is not loaded). OOM attached from the 2.6.26 kernel when I used magic keys to invoke the oom killer :) (this was on the 2.6.26 kernel - before i915 had loaded and in single mode).
