netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t430s an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.63). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Intel GPU crash corrupts fonts

Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The bug occurs regularly, without any special action. I'm just working
  in gnome-terminal und using Firefox.

  Symptoms:
  * While working, the system suddenly freezes for a few seconds (like a typical crash in the X system)
  * Then I can continue work, but with corrupted fonts and views
  * New windows are sometimes readable again

  Don't know if the package is correct. Dmesg shows:

  [ 3647.214489] [drm] stuck on render ring
  [ 3647.214499] [drm] GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error
  [ 3647.214500] [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace.
  [ 3647.214501] [drm] Please file a _new_ bug report on bugs.freedesktop.org against DRI -> DRM/Intel
  [ 3647.214502] [drm] drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue.
  [ 3647.214502] [drm] The gpu crash dump is required to analyze gpu hangs, so please always attach it.
