After running 7.3 for some time I found I still have freezes. Over 5 days I had 2 freezes with 7.3. After switching back to 7.4 I had 3 freezes in a period of 12 hours. In all cases, the freezes came when I was using the machine (i.e., not when idle).

Stuart, are you still seeing the freezes? What frequency do you see them? What version of mesa do you have installed? If you disabled compiz, does that make the freezes go away, or have you still experienced any?

Another suggestion is to add this to your Device section in xorg.conf:

  Option "EXAOptimizeMigration" "off"

Purportedly, this may help improve performance too, but we need further testing to verify that.
