  Have you experienced just one lockup, or have you had a series of these lockups?

  Under what conditions does it seem most likely to reproduce?

  Only at boot time?

  When resuming from suspend or hibernate?

  Only when using compositing (Unity, et al)

  When the screensaver (or power saving mode) kicks in
