I have tried running three different kernels. I have 3.4 3.6 and 3.7 in parallel right now. Behavior is basically the same on all three. I have nearly googled myself into a coma. 3.4 had known intel bugs, many of which were fixed in 3.6.10, hence that install. 3.7 (from tumbleweed) was originally being tested until I read there were regressions regarding the intel drivers. My screen will suddenly become unresponsive, with only the mouse being able to move. Then shortly thereafter that will stop responding as well. It is not possible to drop to TTY. I have to hold the power down. After trying the different kernels, I have tried also the i915.modeset=0 and i915.modeset=1 in grub. The former seems to cause more problems than it solves, changing from a frozen screen to a garbled one. So far the latter is proving stable, though perhaps with slightly degraded graphical performance.
