(Get the code!)
I can confirm that I get the same behaviour on my laptop: an Acer Aspire 1681 WLMi with an ATI Radeon 9700 w/ 64MB.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04, the screen would freeze at some point after X starts -- occasionally at login screen or once desktop appears after logging-in. If I booted into my previous kernel, 2.6.22-14-generic, then I would experience no problems and can use my laptop without freezes, but booting into 2.6.24-16-generic would cause a freeze. So for the time being I am booting into an older kernel from the previous release to work around the problem.
Reading this thread, I tried booting into 2.6.24-16-generic with a USB mouse plugged in and I am able to use X for the first time with this new kernel. Could this be a problem with the way the new kernel is compiled? Should this be reported to the kernel maintainer of 2.6.24-16-generic?
