Public bug reported:
Following the instructions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze
The most annoying bug/issue is that after the soft reset the mouse
cursor is invisible. If this were fixed I would be most pleased.
As for the overall issue this happens whenever a game is running and can
happen while on another workspace from the game. There is no particular
game spot that triggers this bug, however there is a separate bug where
rendering stops for a few seconds after picking up gold for the first
time after a long pause, watching videos, in Diablo III/wine. This
separate bug is not a reset, just a frame that takes a long time to
draw.
The window manager is xfwm4 and the videos are playing in Flash(Hulu)
and AFAIK that's not accelerated until recently that is I'm sure Hulu is
not accelerated even though the Flash player now supports hardware
acceleration.
I'd like to point out that the above page does not indicate what package
to file a bug against. As for packages for user-space I've only ever
used xorg-edgers combined with oibaf graphics-drivers. However I did
try the 3.8.0-996-generic kernel and I must say it was a pain to undo
all of my overlay filesystems, please consider including the overlay
filesystem in future builds!
The results are the same with the current kernel. This had started
after an upgrade about a week ago so I'll attach my dpkg logs for you to
review.
Cheers!

Several, can happen multiple times in a row or can happen about once
every five minutes. As indecated it can happen even when the GL
application is on another work space.
"Shortly after upgrading"
> Under what conditions does it seem most likely to reproduce?
D. None of the Above, I've previously explained so please accept this
answer.
I'm sure you want more information, please consider beefing up the above URL...
At the vary least indicate what package these bugs should be files against.
