Hello!

I welcome all ubuntu users in the world of freezing desktop on intel chipsets. As I switched to Fedora10 on my main machine some month ago, I had the problem a little earlier.
I tried to collect all data in my bug report in the freedesktop bugzilla:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20893#c0

Short story: This bug has been probably introduced after xorg-video-intel-2.5.1 . As this driver and earlier drivers are reported working, it is quite sure a bug in the driver.
The ONLY always working reported workaround is to put "Option" "NoAccel" "true" in your xorg.conf. Turning off composite alone does reduce the number of freezes, but they are still there.

So, take this upstream to the intel developers. I already predicted them that many ubuntu users will have this problem now.

Please post your intel_gpu_dumps there!
