One cause of that can be mishandling of memory bandwidth and FIFO
settings in the graphics card. My first guess therefore would be to file
it against whichever X server you are using and include the X trace, an
dmesg including a boot with drm.debug=7, an lspci and an lspci -vvxxx (as
root)
(oops, should have replied to group)
Thanks, on further investigation it seems coupled to a bug I have with
3.4 kernels not booting without acpi=off, so I might wait and see how
that resolves.
