** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
+ [Problem]
+ The i915 kernel module seems to dislike having other kernel modules using the 
GPU.  In some cases i915 will do a GPU reset and fire off a "GPU locked up!" 
event.  The reset is successful and i915 carries on normally, so the user 
doesn't notice anything unusual and there's no symptoms other than the error 
messages in the dmesg log.  However, this is enough to trigger the apport GPU 
lockup reporting tool to pop up on a subsequent reboot and prompt the user to 
file a bug report.
  
- Happens at every login. Not sure what is actually failing because
- everything seems to work fine.
+ Essentially, module-init-tools (and other plumbing layer packages) don't
+ always ensure a clean handoff between the vesafb driver and the i915
+ driver.  However, when you know that i915 is going to load properly, you
+ don't really need vesafb anyway.
+ 
+ [Workarounds]
+ Use xdiagnose to disable the vesafb framebuffer driver.
+ Or add it to the kernel blacklist.
+ Or direct apport not to file bug reports for gpu lockups.  [This is the step 
taken for the natty release]
+ 
+ [Original Report]
+ Happens at every login. Not sure what is actually failing because everything 
seems to work fine.
