I just want to say that the problem with the "[drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed]
*ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU idle, missed IRQ." also happens to me on
a i7-2600K Sandybridge integrated intel graphics card.
I use Compiz and this driver never worked very reliably. Sometimes, after using
a 3D application (like Blender) I would just lose composition or get strange
artifacts.
However only since recently it started hanging hard. I sometimes can still
switch to tty1 and do a init 3 -> init 5 sequence to get the machine back.
Other times I have to ssh from another computer to do that.
I think the start of the hangs coincided with the latest kernel update, but I
can't be sure of that.
I've already compiled a vanilla 3.0.0 kernel for that machine, so I might try
that to have an extra data point later, since with the current kernel I get at
least one hang in a couple of hours working with the machine.
BTW, not working with the machine and just leaving the screensaver on is enough
for it to hang, too.
I really think the severity of this bug is understated: for a regular user,
this is a hard freeze of the machine, only solvable by a reset, losing all the
current work.
