Comment 85 for bug 1251042

Done, see bug 1310633. Note that report was using the noveau driver.
After that I installed the nvidia-331 drivers and had a similar problem.
Tried to capture another bug report, but the system hung in the middle.
I think it is interesting that the kernel generates an error about a usb
device, which I expect is the mouse, beginning around the time the mouse
stops responding (regardless of driver). With the nvidia-331 driver, the
excessive screen flickering begins after about a few minutes of usage
and then the system hangs a few minutes later. Let me know if I can be
of further help.
