We've had a handful of reports in the last couple weeks of a gpu lockup on i965 systems which had not had freeze troubles for a long while (>6 months). Most reporters have experienced the freeze only once or twice; they don't know how to reproduce it, nor really have a way to definitively tell whether it is fixed or just occurs rarely.
I'm forwarding this report on the chance that the bug is a recognizable one to upstream; I don't think users are going to be able to pinpoint this down any further.
These i965 reports started coming in shortly after when we updated Ubuntu from xserver 1.10.0 to 1.10.1 and mesa from 7.10.1 to 7.10.2 and adding patch 25521900d to -intel (bug #35808). (Due to the intermittency of the bug I haven't had people try downgrading those packages.)
My screen went entirely black (both laptop screen and second monitor). Switching to a VC did not show anything on screen. At first I could still hear sounds from running applications, but eventually (after ~10 seconds) they stopped. I had to powercycle the machine to get control back. The "system problem detected" apport dialog offered to let me file a bug, but then I got another crash dialog saying "apport-gpu-error-intel.py closed unexpectedly".

[Problem]
Infrequent gpu lockup on i965.
We've had a handful of reports in the last couple weeks of a gpu lockup on i965 systems which had not had freeze troubles for a long while (>6 months). Most reporters have experienced the freeze only once or twice; they don't know how to reproduce it, nor really have a way to definitively tell whether it is fixed or just occurs rarely.
I'm forwarding this report on the chance that the bug is a recognizable one to upstream; I don't think users are going to be able to pinpoint this down any further.
Bugs I believe to be dupes, all on i965 systems:

767425 IPEHR: 0x08000000

[Original Description] /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xorg/+bug/ 768176 and this is after I persuaded apport- gpu-error- intel.py to run.
Crash which required reboot. The crash itself is described in https:/
