I had this problem on UBUNTU 13.04 on the same laptop (Dell latitude 5430) I did a simple thing - just a lucky shot - .. updated all the xserver packages that I had as follows
"sudo apt-get install xserver" it will correct you and show about 3 xserver packages .... install them all (they should be installed .. but whatever) "sudo apt-get install <xserver-****>" then upgrade them "sudo apt-get upgrade <xserver-****>" and it is solved now ^_^ A.Z -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071442 Title: Dell Latitude E5430+12.04 - X Freezes Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I couldn't determine yet what is causing the problem or how to reproduce it.
