Bug#596957: Intel graphics chipset

Mon Feb 14 15:27:00 UTC 2011

I think it is due to the Intel chipset of the graphics card. Using a HP
Compaq DC7900 SFF PC ALL model, lspci reports:

On a non-trade mark clone PC (amd64 running Debian/Sid), the Intel
chipset provokes crashing of the X11 Gnome-desktop when launching the
GEOM module. After installing a nVidia GeForce9500 GT graphics card with
non-free driver from nVidia, Salome behaves, so far, without problems.
The output of lspci using the Intel graphic chipset on this system
reports:
