Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

My guess is the artifacts are related to SNA, rather than to the (false) lockup. Please test this by putting the following in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then rebooting:

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Card0"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

Assuming that eliminates the corruption you're seeing, then I think this bug report is essentially dupe to #1098828

I think you mean https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1098489 ?

We're closing this bug since there has not been a response from the original reporter. However, the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. If you're not the original reporter, we'd prefer you file a new bug report.

Some tips:

  * Report X.org bugs via the command: `ubuntu-bug xorg`

  * Test against the latest development Ubuntu. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/
    Bugs marked as affecting the development version tend to get priority attention.

  * The `xdiagnose` utility has functionality for enabling debugging and
    analyzing a few common X problems.

  * Tag your bugs with the Ubuntu versions you have reproduced the issue in.

  * See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting for tips on writing good bug reports.
