Title:
  8086:27a2 [Dell MP061] i945: Random complete freeze using dual
  monitors

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I can run all day without problems if I boot up using just the laptop
  screen, but using an external monitor to extend the viewing area I get
  a crash after about an hour or two of use, 100% guaranteed.  It seems
  completely random.  I was getting similar crashes in 12.04 but using
  2d "fixed" that.  Now with 12.10 I have to use 3d.  By complete freeze
  I mean no mouse click or key press does anything but I can still see
  the cursor move with the mouse.

  When I first installed 12.10 and the system froze I could use ctrl-
  alt-F1 to restart the display manager, but since a recent system
  update ctrl-alt-F1 just switches to a black screen (no text).  Typing
  any kind of command seems to have no effect, so it is more than the
  characters simply not displaying.  So this recent system update seems
  to make the crash more severe when it happens.
