Comment 117 for bug 1167624

I want to ammend my previous comment (#109) to add that I ultimately upgraded to the 3.8.0 kernel and, more recently, to the 3.11.0 kernel available in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories. I have not seen the crash since upgrading (months ago), even with my external monitor at full resolution (and, indeed, I did still see some crashes in 3.2.0 when not at full resolution), so it seems that upgrading the kernel is the real workarround for this problem.
