I have a problem with an Aser Aspire laptop freezing at seemingly
random. This message appears in /var/log/messages right before freezing

timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger
bdl_pos_adj.

I will attach a complete messages, as well as an older messages from the last freeze. This message also happens very frequently right before a freeze, but not the last time. 

Sep 17 14:17:20 hildur-laptop pulseaudio[1293]: ratelimit.c: 10 events
suppressed

The only relevant information i have found is at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1460809. The proposed solution
is to use the propriatary fglxr driver, but I am already using it. I'm
not filing this for a specific package since I don't know what package
is causing the error. I am suspecting the kernel and drivers for hda-
intel though.
