Comment 4 for bug 2060303

I'm sorry for the flood of comments, but it happened again two times already, and I guess I see a pattern when it occurs: if I use the computer to browse the web, watch some videos, or writing some C program with vim, or whatever, it's fine. However if I let it alone for more than 5-10 mins or so (no need to screen lock, or bother with closing the lid of the notebook or anything!) then it happens.

It seems if I only leave a "top" command running in a terminal window, it's enough to avoid the "idle'ing" problem (+ lock up) or whatever it is ...

Interestingly since then I am careful no to leave the GPU idle to lock up then, I haven't seen these lines in the kernel log either which was the case btw with the previous nvidia driver(s) as well (though there were no lock-ups, but the log msgs were there):
