I am also experiencing this, on a Gentoo system running on a ThinkPad T440s. I'm not doing anything related to XBMC, simply using xrandr for multihead. The interesting thing is that DRI works fine on my laptop screen (glxgears reports 60fps, which is the refresh rate of my screen), but breaks when I move a window trying to use DRI (e.g. Chrome, glxgears) to the external monitor connected to the mini Display Port output.
I see this stuff in dmesg: [ 3561.424762] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on blitter ring [ 3561.424770] [drm] GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error [ 3561.424772] [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace. [ 3561.424774] [drm] Please file a _new_ bug report on bugs.freedesktop.org against DRI -> DRM/Intel [ 3561.424776] [drm] drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue. [ 3561.424778] [drm] The gpu crash dump is required to analyze gpu hangs, so please always attach it.

I'm trying to downgrade X, mesa, et al., to try and get the system back in working order. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041790 Title: [snb] GPU lockup IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001, workaround i915.semaphores=0 Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “sandybridge-meta” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this crash log gets generated. It's significantly more than several times a day but not quite continuous. If you indeed have this bug, that should stop the lockups from happening. Irrespective, please file a new bug report so your hardware may be tracked. WORKAROUND: Edit your /etc/default/grub from: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0" run the following and reboot: sudo update-grub The side effects of this is rendering throughput is dropped by 10% with SNA, or as much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to be reduced by about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU with rc6 disabled, so increased power consumption.
