Bump. After attaching a few log files to the bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29931, they concluded that was not a bug in the Intel driver, but in compiz. I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum for bugs in compiz, but I'll be more than happy to help out with any information you may need.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer 4810T. -- 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/446717 Title: [gm45] Adjusting Brightness in Acer Aspire Timelines causes system freeze in 4810T and 5810T models To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/446717/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
