During my experiments with kernel 3.2.0, the xorg also crashed. I had to disable X11 acceleration for 3.2.0 kernel to work.
Same story with kernel 3.5.0. This means that I erred on comment #2 where I claimed that simple reversal to 3.2.0 fixed the problem. Apparently I forgot to mention that somewhere inbetween I disabled X11 acceleration.

For what it worth, I tested the 3.7.0-030700rc2-generic kernel and found that it behaves the same way as the 3.2.0 and 3.5.0 kernels - e.g. there is no difference between them (from the bug's perspective).

Before upgrade to ubuntu 12.10, both kernel (3.0.0 I guess) and X11+acceleration worked properly.

I will update the bug's title to represent the fact.
