Forgot to mention, I am using the semaphores kernel parameter... alan@wopr:~$ cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-4-generic root=UUID=3d53ca44-6af4-422d-b1b0-adf30c679a2f ro quiet splash i915.semaphores=0 vt.handoff=7

It's significantly more than several times a day but not quite continuous. Temporarily disabiling semaphores seems to eliminate the problem. E.g.: $ sudo -s # echo 0 > /sys/modules/i915/parameters/semaphores [Workaround] 1. Edit your /etc/default/grub file. 2. Change this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0" 3. Then run sudo update-grub 4. And reboot If you indeed have this bug, that should stop the lockups from happening. If it doesn't, then file a new bug report. Side Effects: Rendering throughput is dropped by 10% with SNA, or as much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to be reduced by about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU with rc6 disabled, so increased power consumption.
