[Bug 1213022] Re: Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration.

 

I am now running Ubuntu 13.10 live from usb. I don't know if this will
be sufficient to test the issue. I can do all my non-essential work from
here.

Title:
  Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Kubuntu 13.04
  Thinkpad T520
  Bios: automatic (i.e. detect support for descrete graphics, though does not seem to detect anything)

  $uname -a
  Linux fk1304 3.8.0-27-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 9 00:17:05 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Screen will regularly (typically 1-3 times a day) freeze for a few
  moments, then the acceleration is disabled.

  I have seen this happen in different situations:
  When switching between folders in dolphin
  When scrolling in FF
  When switching between desktops (I use kwin set up with a 9 desktops grid, no Compiz)
  When running a java app and a vmware virtual machine

  I have not found a certain way to make this happen, though it seems to
  be related to spikes of heavy activity.
