Public bug reported: I'm using a mostly-stock Quantal install on a Dell Latitude E6410. If I stick with mostly xorg-edgers packages plus the Quantal shipped xserver- xorg-video-intel, I'm fine. If I upgrade to any of the xorg-edgers Intel driver releases from the last... Three months? At least? ...I get anywhere from thirty minutes to a few hours of work done before the GPU crashes repeatedly until it's declared "hung" and reset. Then Cinnamon's toast, and so is the rest of my DE, and it's time to zap the X server and restart the laptop.
I'd submit a bug with logs from an *actual* crash, but I've had to disable apport entirely to stop it trying to process the GPU crash information. *That* crashes the apport GPU sub-module. Are there some known GPU crash / hang bugs re: the old Core i7-6x0 mobile CPUs? Something else going on? Do I need a newer kernel to *not* get all these crashes? I see the last xorg-edgers 3.8 kernel currently uploaded for Quantal failed to build for i386, and I'm not being offered it through aptitude, so I'm very hesitant to pull down the 3.8 packages and install them manually.
