Comment 36 for bug 600453

This issue is specific to E6150 machines with the Intel GPU. E6150 machines with nVidia GPUs may well have different issues.

We're past the final kernel freeze. While there's a slim possibility that it will get into the kernel on the release CDs, more likely is that it'll be fixed in an update.

It would be helpful to test if the kernel from the kernel-team mainline PPA here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/current/ works. That should have the above named commits which fix the E6150, at least for the developer :).
