I have the same freeze problem.
However, as many said, my laptop does not freeze when an usb mouse is plugged.
Moreover, I observe the very same problem with the fglrx driver, so the culprit is most probably not the driver.
I experienced this problem since 2.6.24 (I ran Ubuntu 7.10 with kernels up to 2.6.23 without a hitch...)
