I think this bug is assigned to the wrong package. It is very likely a kernel problem. On my hardware, the kernel actually detects the lock. I posted extracts from the syslog file recovered after a hard reset in the following two posts to another thread on the same problem: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1154006/comments/42">1154006#42</a> and <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1154006/comments/46">1154006#46</a>. The lines to look for are

I just went back to 10.04, the instability of 12.04 is just ridiculous. I hope that a kernel developer is following this discussion and might find a hint in the syslog extracts I posted under the other number. -- 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/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
