Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I was advised to upgrade to version 2.7.1 of the intel drivers from
x-updates in order to get dual-screen to work (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/379805). Since then, about once per day, the screen just goes
completely black. Control+Alt+F1 gets me a command line but nothing
makes X work again except for rebooting. What appears in syslog when
this happens is;

Jun  8 08:58:17 cameron kernel: [41066.989758] [drm:i915_setparam] *ERROR* unknown parameter 4
Jun  8 08:58:17 cameron kernel: [41066.989789] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 6
Jun  8 08:58:18 cameron kernel: [41068.145609] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 6
Jun  8 08:58:26 cameron kernel: [41075.594275] [drm:i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0

The files automatically attached by ubuntu-bug are *after* a reboot.
Manually attached are copies of some of the files taken before the
reboot.

There are quite a few hits when I google for the last entry in syslog.

This sounds a little like 305227 but that goes pack to 8.10 and this is
extremely recent.

This problem did not happen with vanilla jaunty - only after after
installing 2.7.1. Of course various other package updates were installed
while trying to solve the problems with 379805 and it could be one of
them. I apologise if this is not the correct package to report this bug
against.
