[Bug 310345] [NEW] Desktop becomes unresposive when using intel driver

[Daniel FitzGibbons]

Public bug reported:

Using Jaunty, the desktop will randomly become completely unresponsive
on my Sony Vaio FW140E (uses an intel gm45 graphics card).  There isn't
any one activity that seems to set this off, or any amount of time.
Once I was browsing the web after about an hour of uptime, and another
time I left the computer on overnight and woke up and it was
unresponsive.

When this happens, the mouse can move, but no keyboard inputs have any
effect and windows don't react to mouse clicks at all.  I don't hear any
sounds like the fan or hard disk that would indicate that the CPU is
maxed out.

I had this same issue with Fedora 10 and Opensuse 11.1 (both of which
use the 2.5 version of the intel driver, like Jaunty).  In Mandriva 2009
and Ubuntu 8.10 there doesn't seem to be an issue, so it might be an
upstream issue with the new driver?

** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
