[Intel-gfx] GPU freeze on my Kubuntu 12.10 system

[icanprogram at 295.ca]

I'm new to your mailing list,  so I'm not sure exactly how to report this.    

My KDE system is quite flaky.    The Xorg.0.log and dmesg both are reporting 
that my GPU is hung out to dry.    I have other issues in KDE,  but I figure 
the first order of business is to get the GPU working correctly.

I have attached the output from both dmesg and 
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state

My system is an ASUS with dual core Intel Pentium G630 at 2.7GHz running Linux 
3.5.0-27.     The graphics system reports back as:  2nd generation 
coreprocessor family integrated graphic controller.   ASUSTek Computer rev 09.

I tried with no joy to compile your intel-gpu-tools.   I couldn't get 
./configure to work out.      It complains about:

===
checking for DRM... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm_intel >= 2.4.38 libdrm) were not 
met:

No package 'libdrm_intel' found
No package 'libdrm' found

===

However, my Kubuntu reports that libdrm-intel1 package is installed.

Thanks  in advance for your help.
