Declining the linux (Ubuntu) task as this is not reproducible in Raring for the original reporter as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/964231/comments/22 . ** Tags added: needs-bisect needs-full-computer-model needs-upstream- testing ** Description changed: With a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 x64, the system has many "microfreezes" when I connect an external monitor via HDMI.

This only happens when using HDMI- when connected via VGA to an external monitor, the system behaves smoothly as - expected. + expected. Not reproducible in Raring. - I started a thread about this a long time ago, but I never did find an - answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817910 + WORKAROUND: In Quantal use kernel boot parameter drm_kms_helper.poll=0.
