With the heat of these last days it seems to happen even more. Kernel parameters did not solve the issue.
Yesterday I also uncovered something. I was watching a video on youtybe and had the screensaver coming in every minute, so I touched the touchpad everytime the screen started to go black. This mostly resulted in a few second of audio looping and gui freeze. Interesting is that it happened with the touchpad, the "touchpoint" and the keyboard itself. So it is not specific to touchpads or the tiny blue "touch point", but also can be triggered by the keyboard.

Can also someone CC dell on this bug?
PS happened a total of three times during writing of this and crashed my laptop around 3 times a week since hardy installation, so how about setting priority to high? If it does not get solved I will have to switch distro...
