I also has the same problem with ubuntu kernel 3.5.0-27, the previous version 3.5.0-21 worked fine. My laptop is a Dell Latitude 5420 with sandy bridge chipset and Intel HD3000 VGA. GPU hangs happens once in awhile, after doing some git bisecting, I found that this patch seems to be the cause for the problem:
drm/i915: GFX_MODE Flush TLB Invalidate Mode must be '1' for scanline waits Includes is my git bisect log. ** Attachment added: "git_bisect.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1162516/+attachment/3648423/+files/git_bisect.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162516 Title: GPU hangs using UEFI 12.10 Secure remix 64 BIT To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1162516/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
