Comment 51 for bug 1079440

Fun has returned. I don't know why the Feb 18 drm-intel-next insists on crashing and I have no idea why the first attempt at the Feb 23 drm-intel-nightly was a failure, but I returned to using it (3.8.0-994-generic) with complete success later on. A 5-hour run, an 8-hour run, and it is currently running and working fine with 2 monitors.

So I agree that the problem is both resolved and fixed. Thanks!
