That is correct. The default raring kernel will be very disappointing for people that are experiencing the problems outlined in this thread.

It seems that only >3.9.7 has a usable kernel for affected Sandybridge users (I am using a Lenovo X220). Even then, the bug remains at some level but it more of a minor inconvenience than a show stopper. I've settled on using 3.9.8 from the mainline ppa.

The 3.10.x series presents new drm prolems with Sandybridge (weird taring and rendering artifacs) so I would not recommend those either.
