We always assume that it is not until we have a good reason to think it is the same. For xorg-related bugs, it is best to file a separate bug report and then later mark some as duplicates if they turn out to be the same. > And if > so I am willing to install mainline kernel as advised above but am > worried that this might make my system unusable as Ubuntu specific > drivers are not included.

They install side-by-side and you can choose on boot (hold in shift during boot if your system is not configured to show a boot menu). By default the one with highest version number will be used (i.e. the mainline kernel in this case). Unless you have a very particular wireless card, the drivers are probably part of the mainline kernel as well. At least my thinkpad works well with the mainline kernels. But I would actually advise to be hooked up with ethernet cable when troubleshooting this kind of things, since the wireless connection is set up by xorg, if xorg crashes for some reason (but maybe not when it freezes) the wireless connection will go down as well. Since you need to ssh into the locked-up system in order to get the logs, you are safer with a wired connection (although it may work with wireless as well). One update from the above: At this point in time it is probably better to use the 2.6.34-rc3 mainline kernel than drm-intel-next, since it has more bugfixes.
