Public bug reported: While the (blank) screensaver runs X will randomly crash, quitting the session and going back to the login manager.
These crashes are random but far more likely to happen if Eclipse is open: I can reproduce the crash 90% of the times with an open Eclipse window, 30% of the times with no open windows. The dmesg log is full of [ 368.351270] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung [ 368.351275] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000 [ 368.351294] [drm:i915_do_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_do_wait_request returns -5 (awaiting 15549 at 15524) [ 369.100021] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung [ 369.100026] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000 [ 369.100046] [drm:i915_do_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_do_wait_request returns -5 (awaiting 15552 at 15524) There are other similar bug reports in launchpad but they all refer to freezes. In my case I only see the X session crashing and going back to GDM. After that I can log in fine and everything will work until the screensaver kicks in again.
