The suggested fix does not work for me.

The work-around of disabling polling works for me. I have confirmed that on the M4600, the polling of its 5 ports take up to 484 milliseconds during which the system is frozen. I haven't investigated why but I'm confident that they way nouveau is detecting the DDC and EDID information is causing these brief lockups. Gents, I have instrumented the nouveau driver to get exact timing and the problem is definitely the EDID probe for the HDMI port taking 250 milliseconds and DDC detection taking 160 milliseconds for each port!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 926714] Re: continuous jerky mouse movements while using nouveau driver in 12.04
I am also affected by this bug, but I have radeon graphics on my desktop (Kubuntu 12.04, Intel i750, Radeon 4890). I had the same problem in Kubuntu 11.10 and also in Ubuntu 11.10 - it was one of the reasons why I used Catalyst before (it was not affected). Later I started using opensource radeon driver and learned to live with this bug. I have also found that people with intel graphics have the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/653815 I can also confirm that workaround posted by jones works.
