Adam, thanks for doing a good job at documenting these freezes.

I have forwarded this bug upstream to the intel developers at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24825 . Please subscribe to
that bug report (i.e. get an account if you don't have one and add
yourself to the CC field), so that you can answer any questions that
they might have.

There are a few things you can do right away to narrow down the cause a
bit further. Try to turn off Desktop Effects and see if the freezes
still happens then. If it does, the cause is not in the compositing
stuff. Another option is to turn off KMS by using nomodeset at the boot
command line (Esc to bring up the Grub menu at boot if you don't have it
already, 'e' to edit the command line, add 'nomodeset' right after
'quiet' and 'splash'). Finally, you can check if the problem exists in
the latest upstream versions by (separately and together) testing with
xorg-edgers (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa)  and a
recent mainline kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/ (you only need to install the linux-image package for your
architecture).
