There are a couple guys trying to bi-sect the bug, but they haven't succedded yet.
5 kernel releases and still no solution found, and the only workaround available is totally unacceptable (use EXA instead of GLAMOR which essentially destroys all hw acceleration and spikes CPU temperatures like nobody's business).

Actually the bug appears to be more than one bug. They fixed a problem with the 3.17 kernel and there are still black screens occuring (but these are recoverable from).

After every large upgrade I need to spend next two days to workaround bugs in my system... It doesn't matter on which distribution.

And Gnome 3 / Cinnamon / KDE without hw acceleration, especially on low voltage hardware like Kabini, is almost torture with the crappier-than-crap performance from falling back to llvmpipe. Imagine seeing windows being redrawn frame by frame when moved. Or HTML5 youtube videos crawling an totally unviewable speeds.
But hey at least the whole "gpu lockup" nonsense has gone away, so it's all good! /sarcasmLast edited by Sonadow; 24 October 2014, 01:40 PM.

Acually, scratch that; it's not 5 releases.
It's 7 friggin kernel releases.
I first experienced in in v3.11. 3.12 didn't solve anything. 3.13 seemingly stopped the gpu lockups.
3.14-3.15 --> no luck on my end. And based on what I am seeing, 3.16 - 3.18rc are all no good as well.
7 kernel releases and the problem remains unfixed. So much for "Linux is ready for the desktop".
