Gard Spreemann, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

In this state, the kernel log is also filled with numerous messages regarding invalid EDID checksums. The behavior was not seen with Quantal. The problem also partially goes away with mainline kernel 3.9. I would describe the stutters as about 10 ms freezes occurring roughly every second. Meanwhile, dmesg sees a lot of "[drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 48" and a few "nouveau E[ I2C][0000:01:00.0] AUXCH(1): tx req timeout 0x01114000". Behavior is restored to normal when eDP-1 is re-enabled. The problem was not seen in Quantal. Installing the 3.9 mainline kernel partially mitigates the problem, but brings other ones, such as a kworker thread pegged at 100% CPU. This could be unrelated. The drm_kms_helper.poll=0 boot parameter does not help with the standard Raring kernel, but is in fact neccessary with 3.9. The problem seems to be unrelated to whether or not there are multiple monitors attached, for example on DP-1 and VGA-1. A single monitor on either DP-1 or VGA-1 is enough to observe the stutter as soon as eDP-1 is disabled. (Simply leaving eDP-1 enabled is not an option for me, as it has to be disabled to use DP-1 and VGA-1 simultaneously on my laptop.)
