Bug Description
After upgrading from Kubuntu lucid to maverick, I noticed that the desktop effects did not work any more. This did not bother me too much and I continued to work with the system anyway. After a few random crashes (the display freezes, even the Alt+SysRq shortcuts do not work) that I did not have before I tried to investigate the cause of my problems. The crashes sometimes appeared a few minutes after booting, sometimes after a few hours.
I found out that the desktop effects work again and that the crashed disappear if I boot using lucid's 2.6.32 kernel. I have also tried different kernel versions from the kernel-ppa (including 2.6.36 and the current rc of 2.6.37), but so far, the latest version that works for me is lucid's 2.6.32.
My notebook is a MAXDATA Pro 8100X with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600. I'm using the FOSS radeon driver.
I will add the log files for kernel 2.6.32 (working) and 2.6.35 (crashes and no desktop effects).
