No; already updated on 08.03.2013.

By the way, I tested the v3.5 and v3.8 kernels (standard repositories):
No changes either.

Nothing much happened; kernel version + cat syslog | grep drm:

Title:
  [drm:intel_dsm_pci_probe] *ERROR* failed to get supported _DSM
  functions

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Xubuntu 12.04 amd64

  In about 1 of 5 cases, the system hangs for ca. 10 seconds during boot.  Then - as far as I remember - a message about DSM/DRM is displayed.  This 'bug' is not reproducible.  The according syslog line is very likely:
  [drm:intel_dsm_pci_probe] *ERROR* failed to get supported _DSM functions

  The boot screen is always just black, up to the messages which I find
  in boot.log later on. I couldn't change this via Plymouth
  (~>https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth).  Plymouth doesn't work here as
  described in the article.

  If that hang occurs, I get a crash report for fingerprint-helper
  (->https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fingerprint-
  gui?field.series_filter=precise), but the developer Wolfgang Ullrich
  didn't find anything referring to his software. I usually sent these
  crash reports; a couple of these reports are still available.
