WORKAROUND:
For getting rid of the freezes make do the following.
If you don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf , create one by runnig X -configure (and
putting the resulting file to that place).
In the xorg.conf the is a section looking like this:
Section "Device"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Make sure to have this option in that section:
Option "NoAccel" "yes"
As a result, you will have this:
Section "Device"
Driver "intel"
Option "NoAccel" "yes"
EndSection
After that, you won't have nice effects and not much fun playing videos.
But your system does not freeze anymore.
Andres, the Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464866 is
indeed the right one. But there are different bugs put into one. So it's not
very clean. I have the EQ overflowing message.
Good to hear that ubuntu and intel is working together. Sad that it is
done this late. The bug is known longer. Probably it would be good to
work more with Fedora. I don't flame about distros, I love each and
every one. But Fedora is technically always ahead of ubuntu. Bugs not
fixed there will hit the next ubuntu release. As it happened now.
