Well i just ran a quick and dirty test on my kanotix install, ive been
using it for over 1.5 yrss
never had a freeze and never installed compiz (i dont like wiggley
windows) but as a test I
installed it and when i tried to run it was given the same error
message that compiz detected
my intel card and was not going to run, evidently compiz blacklists
the intel card now.
but i chose to run overide it with SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz my screen
blinked and changed
and then every window i opened froze, the terminal froze, i was unable
to move anything, i
had what i thought was the same freeze that i reported with jaunty but
i only think the effects
were similar. i am using this:
ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6
        X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display d

I imagine there are lots of people burning lots of midnight oil on this bug....
