It is never 0 bytes in length, ls lies. Just cat the file and attach it; $ cat /sys/class/drm/card0/error | bz2 > error.bz2
Created attachment 116654 [details] /sys/class/drm/card0/error (error.dump attached) Per request to add error file to case
Sigh. Please attach the contents of that file after the hang and before the next reboot.
Ping for the info.
I've had the exact same issue and managed to save my error dump (it gets reset to 0 bytes on reboot, which is necessary to recover screen). Attaching now.

This should have been fixed by mesa-10.5.3+.
Thanks for the response, excuse my ignorance but how do I get the update? I am using Kubuntu, and don't have much experience with Linux. Thanks!
In theory it should be provided to you by your distribution when you next do an package update. In practice you tend to have to roll forward to the next release of the distribution. If you can hop on irc and head over to e.g. #kubuntu on irc.freenode.net hopefully someone can quickly give you precise instructions on how to find mesa updates for your version.
Thanks Chris! Is there any way to check my version so I can know if I have upgraded ok? Sorry for the annoying questions, this is the last one!
To see what library is currently in use, try glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version". To see what is currently installed, try dpkg -l libgl1-mesa-dri (but that assumes the package name).
Thanks for the help :)
