I am able to replicate the this bug 100% of the time by scrolling up and down quickly in Google Image search results. The bug seems to be fixed as early as 3.3.6 (maybe earlier). Appears to be a GPU hang. There are three i915 related commits in 3.3.6. -- You received this bug notification because

Timo, I'm building a test kernel with this patch committed in 3.3.5: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.drivers.intel/10832 I don't see it in 3.2.0-25 and the description appears relevent - the patch applies a GPU hang fix for gen 6 (Sandy Bridge) to >= gen 6 (gen 7 including

Timo, our system froze with the patch - no good. We'll keep hacking from our side as well. Let me know if we can help split up the work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.ne

** Description changed: Occurs reliably on fast Sandy Bridge hardware with a fast GPU - GTX 485M, GTX 560M or GTX 580M. Appears to be a race condition. LightDM attempts to start before /dev/nvidiactrl is created. As a workaround add "sleep 1 && service lightdm start" to /etc/rc.local

We've found that adding "sleep 2" above "exec lightdm" in /etc/init/lightdm.conf also resolves the booting issue (though we need to test more cold boots). sleep 1 was adequate on reboots but failed on some cold boots. Doesn't explain why this only occurs in OEM mode. -- You received this bug not

Yes, this bug still occurs and has expanded to include very fast Haswell hardware with Intel graphics. This seems to be race condition where X is not ready for lightDM to start. We suspect an upstart bug or lightdm.conf config file issue. This fix works consistently: - We've found that adding "sle

Hi Jamie, Great find! With vga=799 my Serval boots on vt7 every time. As you noted vga=799 is depreciated and replaced by gfxpayload. You can have the correct boot image and start on VT7 by adding the following lines to /etc/default/grub and then "sudo update-grub". I have tested this on the
