I am now running Ubuntu 13.10 live from usb. I don't know if this will be sufficient to test the issue. I can do all my non-essential work from here.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Kubuntu 13.04 Thinkpad T520 Bios: automatic (i.e. detect support for descrete graphics, though does not seem to detect anything) $uname -a Linux fk1304 3.8.0-27-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 9 00:17:05 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Screen will regularly (typically 1-3 times a day) freeze for a few moments, then the acceleration is disabled. I have seen this happen in different situations: When switching between folders in dolphin When scrolling in FF When switching between desktops (I use kwin set up with a 9 desktops grid, no Compiz) When running a java app and a vmware virtual machine I have not found a certain way to make this happen, though it seems to be related to spikes of heavy activity.
