I can confirm that jones' solution has fixed the problem on my Lenovo W510. I have had this problem since (at least) 11.04, but it appeared to be slightly improved in 11.10 or 12.04 (freezing for a shorter duration).
Additionally, as this may not be obvious to all users, I had to run the command with sudo. However, just running # sudo echo N > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll did not work. I had to run # sudo -i then # echo N > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll Thanks jones!
