Comment 15 for bug 472694

I am not running a laptop, but I got this crash, and I would like to be able to suspend my desktop as a power saving feature. In previous releases I could not do this because there was a problem in the display driver with respect to the specific Intel graphics chip on my desktop, which meant that the display was always severely corrupted upon resume. With the upgrade to 9.10 the display driver now correctly restores the display on resume, however I have encountered a probably related, and separately reported, problem that the display hangs at some random interval between 2 minutes and 2 days after a restart. Although everything in the system is running fine (as evidenced by the ability to access server functions), the system is useless for local operations because the display is frozen. So far the only resolution I have is to power down the system. If I do not get a resolution quickly I will have to restore an earlier version of the display driver, but I do not want to do that in a hurry in case the support team asks me to collect some additional diagnostic information. However so far nobody has suggested anything I can do. So if the support team does not get back to me very soon, I will back out the driver and then be unable to help the community.
