No, I'm sorry to report that the 358466cb1596bb001f8050ea84fdbbd9bfdd69c1 does not really help. After using the patched i915 module "normally" I tortured it with three glxgears and youtube in HD mode. This hangs it within a few minutes.
Doing the same test with 3.10.0-997-generic from kernel-ppa also hangs in a few minutes, but recovers. So this test kernel makes the problem only a _minor_ nuisance_ rather than a _MAJOR_ inconvenience requiring a window system restart at best and a reboot at worst. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1140716 Title: [regression] 3.5.0-26-generic and 3.2.0-39-generic GPU hangs on Sandybridge To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1140716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
