Those hangcheck timer elapsed errors are generic error messages indicating the gpu has hung in some fashion. Sometimes it is able to recover, in which case you won't see any noticeable effect. What I'm wondering is if you have a video driver contesting the gpu with i915 (a common issue it seems). I think this bug report probably should go upstream. But one thing to test, try disabling the i915 driver when you start things up (pass the kernel the option i915.disable=1). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/766408 Title: [sandybridge-gt2] GPU lockup using xvmc (Render IPEHR: 0x02000004) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
