schymans: I am running 13.04 so have not tested on 12.10. The crash you describe sounds a bit worse than the gpu hang but I obviously cannot be sure. My laptop never rebooted when the hang occurred though.
I must admit that I had one hang with rc5 after 7 days, however the error message was different than the usual "Hangcheck timer elapsed". It was something with a "ring" - cannot remember any more of it. It happened after having dual monitors connected, suspending my laptop and then opening it without any monitors connected. Am on rc6 now and no problems yet. I cannot seem to force the hang, neither by running glxspheres, dragging windows fast across the desktop or playing with compiz effetcs/settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946899 Title: [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed...
