** Description changed:

  When I run google-earth 6.2.1.6014-r0 using the Sandy Bridge GPU, X
  freezes while zooming in on a location. For instance this happens when I
  type 'Caversham WA' into the Google Earth search: X freezes about half-
  way through the animation.
+ 
+ Workarounds are:
+ 
+ 1. Use kernel 3.4-rc5 or later (eg from the mainline Ubuntu kernels at
+ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/)
+ 
+ 2. Patch the stock 3.2 kernel with the patch at comment #12.
+ 
+ 3. Apply the workaround described at
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47535. For more information
+ see comments #24, #34, and #35.
+ 
  
  This happens in Unity, Unity2d, or gnome-shell in Ubuntu 12.04.
  
  X completely freezes so that I can't even switch to a tty console.
  However, I can still ssh into the machine from a remote location.
  Restarting lightdm has no effect but I can reboot the PC.
  
  If I run google-earth through the nvidia card on this PC (using
  bumblebee/optirun) there is no problem. google-earth also runs fine in a
  VM on this machine using the VirtualBox OSE graphics drivers, and it
  also runs fine on another PC with only an nvidia card.
  
  The Xorg.0.log file reports "EQ overflowing" and gives a number of
  backtraces (the Xorg.0.log is attached in case apport didn't find it).
