I'm getting REAL tired of the SysRq key.

Does anyone else have constant frustrations with the intel driver? I used to use the legacy, but that dissappeared. It seems X crashes atleast once a day now.

use git, some witt, and downgrade to 2.9.1 the xf86 video driver.

im not sure if this is the issue you are having, but more on my experinece here:

My situation is worse, everything freezes except the mouse (though sometimes the mouse). I can't get back to a terminal and have to use magic SysRq to reboot.

i guess youve already tired with i95.powersave=0 as a boot parameter to the kernel?

install openssh, setup a ssh server, and when this happens, try to log into the frozen box. try to get as much logs as possible.

if you can do this, i advice you read this: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html

I have best luck with the 2.6.31.x kernel on my laptop which has intel graphics. I also had no luck with the xf86-video-intel in [testing]. Right now I run 2.6.31.x kernel with xf86-video-intel from [extra] and have good stability.

Suspend does not work however, it requires a hard reboot to recover.
