Chris, I don't know how to report this as a bug so I'll just tell you and see if you know. A friend of mine has been having a horrible time with 12.10 and really various other releases as well: the system freezes up in a manner very reminiscent of the dual monitor problem I have--though he's not using a second monitor. He's had to run with a rather old kernel in order to get going at all. He's been very disgruntled about this, feeling that the people who deal with Ubuntu bugs were trying to find an excuse to ignore them. He also says that this "syndrome" seems to have been reported many times by many people and always goes nowhere. Anyway, when I saw that the Feb 23 intel-drm-nightly solved the dual monitor problem, I suggested that he try it. He had a Linux-booting problem very similar to the "you're not having much fun" problem I had but then it worked for him. Here are his words: Hah! I'm up with 994. Running for about 90 min with two sessions of Chromium. First Rachmaninof/Paganini and now Brahms piano. Tough time coming up - took three tries. Died black the first, recovery mode on second got badly tangled, third graphic seems ok. If this really fixes this seemingly widespread problem, some folks should see that the word gets out and quiets the waters. If there's something I can do to help with this, please let me know.
