[i915gm] GPU lockup (ESR: 0x00000001 IPEHR: 0x54000004)

[Christian Göbel]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Testing Xubuntu 11.04 beta1 plus latest updates on my laptop (Centrino Platform) I frequently ran into the following issue:
When I open a new Window in a Web-Application (Novell-Web-Access in Firefox - clicking on a new e-mail will pop-up a new Window that displays the e-mail) then the Monitor picture freezes. The mouse-pointer can still be moved.

In this bug it is not possible to move to a terminal, e.g. via Ctr-Alt-F1. Even the shutdown-button has no effect.
The bug cannot be reproduced reliably but happens 2-3 time per day.

Compared to Ubuntu 10.10 this is a regression.
