tdeering, would you need a backport to a release prior to Raring, or may
this be marked Status Invalid?

Declining the linux (Ubuntu) task as this is not reproducible in Raring

** Description changed:

  With a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 x64, the system has many
  "microfreezes" when I connect an external monitor via HDMI. These last
  maybe 10ms and occur about once per second. As I move my cursor around
  the screen, it stops motion during these microfreezes, causing a very
  irritating stutter effect. This only happens when using HDMI- when
  connected via VGA to an external monitor, the system behaves smoothly as
- expected.
+ expected. Not reproducible in Raring.
  
- I started a thread about this a long time ago, but I never did find an
- answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817910
+ WORKAROUND: In Quantal use kernel boot parameter drm_kms_helper.poll=0.
