Wondering what the conditions of the crash are; if they're similar to mine, my bug #345119 would be a duplicate of this. Good to know, since it's being triaged.

My laptop has an Intel GMA X3100 (also known as the GM965). When it crashes, all on-screen action stops; however, my mouse (both Synaptics Touchpad and USB Mouse) continue to move around, just with nothing happening. I can't get to a virtual terminal, but I can reboot using the REISUB trick.

I can confirm, either way, that mine is a Compiz issue as well; I'm running from a Jaunty LiveUSB right now with Compiz disabled as soon as I logged in. Works just fine, using for over an hour long. Works just like - if not better than - my current Intrepid install.

In any case, I hope a fix is released soon.
