Public bug reported: When Ubuntu changes video mode (switching to a VC, restarting, hibernating, suspending, turning off, etc.), sometimes my laptop hangs with a black with some garbage screen. Keyboard doesn't respond (not SysRq, Suspend hotkey, etc.). The only solution is a hard power-off.
This usually happens when compiz has been enabled, and the last message in Xorg.0.log is "XAA: Evicting pixmaps". I've seen cases where this last message doesn't even get written in the log file when the laptop hangs, and once I've seen more messages written: *** (II) XAA: Evicting pixmaps (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) intel(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) intel(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf89c1000 at 0xb7b65000 (EE) intel(0): I830 Vblank Pipe Setup Failed 0 *** I'll provide more info if needed.
