Bug 177518 on the i945 now appears to be a separate problem: it freezes keeping the screen contents, logs nothing and locks so hard it won't respond even to Alt+SysRq, this blanks the screen, logs Error in I830WaitLpRing() and will reboot with Alt+SysRq+b. 945 users who reported having this bug: do you really have this one, or is yours 177518?
I'd rather not do a fresh install on my hard disk (definitely not of Hardy before it's released) as I use this laptop daily, but I'd be willing to try and put together a bootable USB stick that reproducibly crashes it if the liveCD won't (the skyrocket screensaver mentioned above doesn't crash my machine, and could even be a separate bug as it logs a backtrace not Error in I830WaitLpRing()).
-Does it matter if I use Gutsy or Hardy? Does anyone even have a reproducible way to get this bug in Hardy?
-If it turns out to be more complicated than "install Ubuntu, install Blender, play around a bit", can I post the (presumably rather large) USB disk image here, and if not how do I get it to the developers?
